to our readersLetterDear Residents,

Summer offers many opportunities to get to know one another. Our librarians have planned summer reading club events for all ages. For adults, there will be book discussions, workshops, classes, and lectures. The Youth Services Librarians have planned over 50 free programs for children and families based on our superhero theme of “Every Hero Has a Story.” Miss Kate, our Teen Services Librarian, has been planning an exciting lineup of programs and activities for teens, and teen volunteers will once again assist with the Children’s Summer Reading Club. Our volunteer program is very important to our students and to us.

This August, we will celebrate our ninth anniversary here at 95 Harbor Road. Your support of programs and use of our building are a true testament to how much you value your public library. I hope to catch you often this summer enjoying a book, newspaper, or magazine in the Reading Room, a wonderful retreat from the heat!

So when your find yourself looking for the perfect summer read, ask a librarian for a recommendation or check out our website to see what’s “New to Our Collection.”

Have a safe and enjoyable summer!

Best regards,

Diane ScintaInterim Library Director
