Holiday Hours
December 24th – to January 4th, opening again on Monday, January 5th, 2015
All the best of the Holiday Season to you and yours from YOUR LIBRARY staff!
We wish you a very safe holiday, filled with joy and a new year with health and happiness for all of you. This has been a great year connecting with you and we look forward to a new year with many new developments and services for you. Perhaps you could resolve in the new year to take time to read more books, learn new hobbies, learn a new language all through the library in person or on line on our 24/7 resources.
BOARD MEETING: Tuesday, December 16th, 2014
The Shelburne Public Library Board meets the third Tuesday of every month so our December meeting was held last Tuesday evening. This was also a time to welcome the new appointees from our municipalities and say goodbye to the members who have served with so much dedication over the past four years. In this case, instead of goodbye, I would rather say au revoir, until we meet again.
The new appointees are Gail Little from Amaranth replacing Heather Foster, David Besley From Melancthon replacing Bill Hill, Sharon Martin from Mono replacing Ken McGhee, Janet Horner from Mulmur replacing Lynn Hilchey and Geoff Dunlop renewed from the Town of Shelburne. We certainly will miss Bill, Ken Heather and Lynn who have contributed so much but look forward to new ideas and ongoing work for our community with our new members. There will be 4 more appointees from the Town of Shelburne at their next Council meeting. It is with mixed feelings we also said au revoir to Beverly Ford-Arnold who is leaving the Board after 25 years as an incredibly dedicated and committed Board member, volunteer, Holiday Home organizer and so much more.
