MOFFAT LIBRARY WINS 
PLACEMAKING AWARD
 
The Orange County Citizen's Foundation has awarded the Moffat Library of Washingtonville a 2018 Placemaking Award for the historic "Restore, Renew and Reimagine" Moffat Library Renovation and Expansion Project.

The Award recognizes individuals, organizations, projects, and festivals that have contributed to the creation or transformation of public "places" to improve the local community, and have exemplified placemaking concepts and practices.     
 
The Awards Ceremony will take place at the 10 th Annual Placemaking Conference and Awards on Friday, June 15, 2018.
 
The Orange County Citizen's Foundation believes that Placemaking strengthens the connection between people and the places they share and encourages residents of Orange County to engage in placemaking initiatives to shape a meaningful and sustainable future for subsequent generations.  The Moffat Library "Restore, Renew and Reimagine" project has made that dream into a reality for its community now and for the future.

What We Found

MOFFAT LIBRARY Reference Librarian Audrey Abrams found this obituary of her maternal great-great grandfather Isidore Guilmette on Moffat Library's Ancestry.com database.

He was born in 1851 in Quebec City, Quebec, and married her great-great grandmother Marcelline Gaumond on July 24, 1877.  They moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts in the late 1880's.  In addition, she learned from the 1910 US Census records  that he worked in the railroad industry.

Come in and ask any librarian about this free service and they can help you get started. Stop by and find out about YOUR ancestors today!
