To the Editor:
As a fellow Poland resident, I hope to see as many of you as possible at this year’s Town Meeting [April 2, 9 a.m. at the High School]. Library Trustees and many others have prepared for an important vote on the expansion of the AB Ricker Public Library.
We are the beneficiaries of this growing resource that started decades ago with private donations. Now we can ‘give back.’ More space is needed, not only for books but for the children’s area. Recent events have shown many the importance of sound information.
We are also advised that now is a good time for reasonable financing. It is a rare opportunity that is before us. We would be able to see groundbreaking results before next year.
More information is available at the Library on Main Street, and at our next Trustees Meeting, open to the public, on March 28 at 6:30 p.m. We hope to see you on April 2.
Joseph Beardsley
Chair
Library Trustees
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
