On Thursday, February 11 at 7:00pm the Town Council will be having a community discussion at Maine Street Station about budget priorities for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.  This is not an actual budget meeting but rather an effort to determine the community’s priorities for spending.   We would like to encourage library supporters to attend that meeting to let the Council know that the library is an important service in the community and should be funded to the best of the Town’s ability, given the constraints of the current fiscal climate.  Your support will make a real difference – thank you!

Saturday, February 13th, 9:30 – 1:00 in the Morrell Meeting Room
