Hello All!

What a winter we've had! Great weather for cozying in and reading!

We have begun to rearrange the books and emptying our Juniors' room to make ready for renovation. Needless to say things are a bit more cramped than before, but we are hoping to keep all areas of our collection available for check-out throughout the construction. If you can't locate the books you are looking for, please ask and we'll be happy to direct you to the new temporary location.

We are sorry to say goodbye to a retiring Library Board member, Judith Thompson. Mrs. Thompson has served on our Board for many years, and we are extremely thankful for all her hard work and dedication. She will continue as a patron here, but we will still miss her at Board meetings.

We are happy to welcome Jane Hill to our Board, who will be fulfilling Mrs. Thompson's tenure. Many of you may be familiar with Mrs. Hill already, as she works part-time at Town Hall. We all love Jane's energy, enthusiasm, and cheerful nature. We are blessed to have such wonderful, caring Board members who always put the needs and concerns of our patrons and our library first.

I am proud to let you all know that I have finally found a provider for reasonably priced large print books. We have many patrons who appreciate the larger type, and we are happy to be able to meet the needs of these patrons with new release books as well as old favorites. Be sure to check them out yourself!

Plans are underway for our Summer Reading Program, which will be themed "Make A Splash- Read!" If any of you have ideas for a program meeting, feel free to let me know. Typically, we read a story aloud to the group, sing silly songs, host a presenter who chats with the kids about a pertinent subject, and sometimes we even have craft sessions before dismissal. Volunteers are welcome to join in and help with all activities.

Hope to see you soon!
