| Greetings!
You are invited to a public meeting to hear about plans for the library. On February 19, at 7 pm, the professionals that have been developing plans for a larger library will introduce their service program. They will explain their recommendations. The Burgers, principals of the firm Library Development Solutions, will also show some slides of contemporary libraries that envision the recommendations they are making. Many of the recommendations come from citizens' ideas of what the library should be.
Nancy Weber, a local fundraiser retained by the Library Board of Trustees, will also explain her work in conducting a feasibility study to see if a capital campaign could be done successfully to create a partnership of public and private funds.
A question and answer session will follow. We hope you will consider attending this important program to keep current with what's happening at your library. Please keep your suggestions and comments coming to contact@haddonfieldlibrary.org
Cordially,
Susan Briant
Library Director
NJ Library Association President-elect
