While this is a quarterly newsletter, I hope you will all forgive me for a one-off interim mailing to both remind you of our annual budget vote on June 4, from 10am - 6pm, and to share our 2024 community report. 2024 was a great year for the Waterford Public Library, something I am incredibly proud of, despite not being here at all during that time. Huge shout-out to our former director Tim McDonough and the dedicated staff here for making such a difference in the community. Click here to see a report of all the fantastic things that went on.
