support of the Town Council, who,
despite severe financial constraints,
granted our request for funding to -
maintain the present level of hours at
the Branch libraries as well as Sunday
hours at the Main library.
As 1990 closes, we anticipate some
difficult decisions ahead, given the
apparent crisis at the state level and the
likely decline in local aid. The Board of
Trustees is committed to providing the
highest level of services and to leading
the institution which houses the written,
oral, and visual history from one y;
generation to the next.
