Fall in Love with Your Library!

"A library is also a place where love begins".  —Rudolfo Anaya
Librarian's Corner
News to Love!
A full year into this relationship, and I'm still head-over-heels in love with this library and our members! We're all working hard to ensure that the love affair continues full steam ahead.

On January 12th staff, Friends of the Library, and community stakeholders met for our first of two strategic planning sessions, led by Jen Sweeney our consultant. The group identified various areas where we would like to see progress as a result of our actions, and on Saturday, Feb 2 we are scheduled to meet again to create an actionable timeline for the future of the library.

I will be talking more about this at the upcoming Town Talk on Tuesday, February 5th from 5-7. Please join us!
