2018-2019 Annual Fund

Dear Friends,
Once again we are reaching out to you to ask for your continued support of Lanpher Memorial Library and its many services and programs. Our library is a tax-supported municipal library, and its elected trustees contribute its income from our small endowment, our annual September book sale, our Adopt-an-Author program, and this our annual fund drive to ongoing capital improvements and other expenses.
Just this summer we had the library interior repainted and have plans for additional shelving and basement improvements. In the last few years we have upgraded and completed insulation in both the old and new sections of the library before the timely installation of air conditioning for summer comfort. Two new couches have been added to what is now the town's living room, and there is now a new picnic table just outside the Church Street entrance to accommodate WiFi usage.
As regular patrons know, the library is not just books, for we have a full service information center with a popular DVD collection, downloadable books and materials, audio books, interlibrary loan service, and much, much more, including access to computers for Internet use with a printer and copy machine for downloading state and federal tax forms when needed. The library is a busy community center with an adult reading group, children's story time and speaker programs.
Central to our library's growing success is our library director, Amy Olsen, who recently led the way in making the library ADA compliant with an electric door and a relocated handicapped parking space at the Church Street entrance by the elevator. Amy's leadership has earned her statewide recognition. Last month she participated in VPR's annual Vermont Edition discussion of summer reading with Jane Lindholm, and she has been elected vice president and president elect of the Vermont Library Associaiton. We ask your support for her good work and that of the Assistant Director, Ruth Hay, circulation librarian Christi Dussault, and the loyal band of volunteers at the circulation desk.
Sincerely,
the elected library trustees:
Co-charis, Robert (Sight) Searles and Fran Aronovici; Treasurer, Jim Noyes; Secretary, Melanie Dickinson; Emily Dearborn, Ken Geiersbach; and Susan Hayes
