A letter from our director:
Dear Patrons,
As we reflect on 2024, we're filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for the incredible year we've shared together. The Hall Memorial Library has been buzzing with activity, and we couldn't have done it without your support.
Here are some of the highlights from this past year:
Thriving Programs: From captivating book clubs to engaging children's story times, our diverse range of programs has brought our community closer together.
Community Partnerships: Our partnerships with local organizations have enriched our programming and strengthened our connection to the community.
Successful Fundraising Efforts: Thanks to your generosity, our Friends of Hall Memorial Library was able to become a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
As we turn the page to 2025, we're excited to unveil even more exciting initiatives. Stay tuned for new programs, expanded collections, and innovative services designed to inspire and educate.
Please join us to be part of our journey. Your active participation and feedback are invaluable in shaping the future of our library.
With warmest regards,
Brittany Shanahan
