From the Director
Happy New Year! I hope you were all able to enjoy the holiday festivities and are ready for 2022. There is still
time to donate new hats, handwarmers, and low denomination gift cards to the Library’s Giving Tree to benefit
individuals experiencing homelessness. The Giving Tree is in the Lobby on the Ground Floor of the Library. To those
of you who have donated, I appreciate your generosity.
We are starting the new year with some wonderful programs. Winter Reading will be underway from January 17 and
ending on February 19, with gift card prizes for our adults supporting our local businesses, and plenty of toys and
games for our younger readers. If you would like some help choosing a book, our professional title matchmakers
can provide you with personalized selections. Call the Library or visit our website for more information.
I also want to share an update from the November Regular Board meeting, where our Board of Trustees approved
a construction project in some of the staff areas of the building. The improvements from this project will allow the
staff to maintain and enhance services needed in the community, as well as introduce new initiatives to benefit our
patrons with no tax increase. Work is expected to begin in early spring, and we will be posting further information
closer to that time on our website at greenhillslibrary.org. If you would like to speak to me directly, please do not
hesitate to call or email me.
