From the Library Director...
The Board of Trustees of the Cornwall Public Library is looking for input following the results of the library's recent bond referendum. If you haven't done so already, please take the community survey, located on the library's website: www.cornwallpubliclibrary.org. The survey is also available in paper form at the library circulation desk and was distributed in the January 16th issue of The Cornwall Local. The surveys will need to be completed and returned to the library by January 31st.
In addition, you are invited to attend a Community Discussion Forum on Wednesday, January 28th at 7:00pm (snowdate, Thursday, January 29th at 7:00pm), in the library's community room. Thomas Weddell, CPA, a partner in the firm Vanacore, DeBenedictus, DiGovanni & Weddell of Newburgh, has volunteered to facilitate the discussion.
We urge all residents of the greater Cornwall community to provide input. The staff and Board are anxious to find the best way to meet the needs and expectations of the community. We look forward to hearing from everyone.
