. . . how can you expect to know where you’re going?
The first months of 2014 have been an arctic blur of plowing, shoveling, burst pipes, ice melt, and ten years’ worth of snow days. The challenges of this peculiar year have kept us all hopping as we repair building damage from storms and stretch the budget to encompass unexpected expenses. But before we are swept away by the drama of a new year, we want to take a moment to look back, assess 2013, and report to our community on our stewardship of their tax dollars and donations.
Looking back takes a certain amount of discipline in our fast paced culture, but it is incredibly important to purposefully stop, assess progress and failures, and make an honest assessment. How else can we track our progress and assess our trajectory?
This report is the story of your community, and it is the result of your tax dollars, your donations, and your volunteer hours. We wanted you to know that your library, with your help, made a difference.
I hope you’ll read that story here. Print copies of this report are also available in the library.
