THANK YOU FROM LIBRARY

Dear Residents of the Royalton Hartland School District:

Thank you! The member of the Board of Trustees, The Friends of the Middleport Library and our staff, who have worked for many years to keep the Middleport Library a valuable asset in our community, want to express our thanks for your overwhelming support.

Your emphatic "no" to the proposition to remove the funding for the Library, soon to be known as the Royalton Hartland Community Library, means that it will have funding so that it will remain open for years to come.

For the second time within a year, we are grateful to have received such solid assurance that you want your library and all that it has to offer. The members of the Library's Board of Trustees and The Friends of the Library surely know that our many years of volunteer work to keep the library alive and well were well spent and much appreciated.

Our hearts are, and always have been, dedicated to you, the community. The successful vote to keep funding in place for the library means there will be an open door for every curious mind wanting to gain knowledge through books, magazines, the Internet, and the other myriad of community resources offered at the Royalton Hartland Community Library.

As has been done over the past 83 years, we will continue to work hard to keep our library, a living memorial to all of our veterans, a vibrant part of our community that has always utilized volunteers, looked at the most economical ways to be run, and is a warm and welcoming place for all residents to come to expand their horizons.

Again, thank you for voting to keep the library open. We look forward to seeing you soon at the Royalton Hartland Community Library!

Sincerely,

Carolyn Wagner, Director, Board of Trustees
Mary P. Collins, Chair, The Friends of the Library
Rose Bernard, Director, Middleport Free Library
