As 2009 comes to a close we would like to thank you for your support. Not long ago Roger Clark Memorial Library closed its doors. Today, through the hard work and determination of our volunteers, the library is a place that offers the newest best-sellers for both adults and children, programs for all age groups, and events that bring the community together.
In the past three years you, our community, have donated thousands of hours of your time: covering library shifts, cataloging new books, updating the filing system, keeping our web page current, fund raising, writing grants, producing programs, buying books, maintaining the library’s technology, updating furniture and many other behind-the-scenes jobs.
We are proud of all that we have accomplished in 2009, and you should be too; without your time, donations and contributions, none of this would have been possible. It is our hope that Roger Clark Memorial Library will continue to grow
as a place for sharing our community’s knowledge, talents, and interests while providing an inviting space for you to browse the Library’s growing book collection.
• Stream walk and wildflower identification walk in collaboration with U.S. Forest Service
• Books to shut-ins and offer to deliver books via holiday baskets from the Women’s Alliance
• “Listen-Up” audio book downloads available to all patrons
• Summer community potluck dinner
• Family game night and potluck dinner
• Many work days for processing new books, cataloging, organizing, cleaning, and more
• Invitations to speak at Vermont Town Officer’s Conference and Dept. of Libraries seminar detailing the success of our revitalization efforts
• Purchasing books from Vermont independent book stores, resulting in book donations that support our youth programs
• Updating the collection with self-raised funds and support from the Turrell Fund
• Annual book sale at the Pittsfield Bazaar ( $525)
• Awarded a Turrell Fund grant for children’s books and programming ($3600)
• Sold-out annual fundraising dinner and silent auction at Clear River Tavern ($2350)
• “Art Fits Vermont” puzzle project for young adults
• Community adventure race with Doug and Kelly Lewis
• “Night Before Christmas” pajama party
• Saturday music program or toddlers and siblings
• Spring and fall after school programs

Wishing you health, happiness, and lots of reading in 2010!
