It is that time of year when we reach out and ask for your support.  Our challenge is great as we have increased the hours of our children’s librarian and face another increase in minimum wage.

Our library is a nonprofit and not a Town department.  We have one fulltime and two part-time staff.  We provide many programs because of our dedicated volunteers and grant funding.  This year’s expenses are projected to be $117,500. $60,000 was approved at this year’s Town meeting which did not include our request for $12,000 in additional funds to meet our hours and minimum wage challenge.
