MONDAY 20 MAY @ 7PM

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE NEW LIBRARY @ THE SELECT BOARD MEETING
PLEASE VOICE YOUR SUPPORT!
We are on our way in our effort for the new North Hampton Public Library campaign and are asking for your support. We hope that you will please attend the Monday May 20th Select Board Meeting at 7 pm at the Town Hall. At this meeting, the Trustees and the Director will present the progress made to date on this project and re-request the "Homestead" property adjacent to the current library as the site for the new library. Our objective for the meeting is to get the Select Board to confirm the location for the new Library so we can move forward with our plans. The Library Trustees have done the due diligence, have already committed funds to the project and are ready to move forward. However, we cannot effectively move forward with the capital campaign until the location of the new Library has been identified. Please help us by voicing your opinion that the Select Board should move to confirm the location for the new library at the Homestead property to keep the process on track. We hope that you will show & voice your support on the 20th and attend this important town meeting. Sincerely, The Director and the Board of Trustees Susan Grant, Director Loreen Keating, Assistant Director Kelly Parrott, Chair John Kollmorgen, Treasurer Susan Leonardi, Secretary
