The past year has been one of change for the Berry Memorial Library. The former Director left at the end of July. The Library was closed for a few months while the Board of Directors searched for new leadership. Valerie Messana has recently begun as the Library’s new Director. She comes to the Library with 18 years experience as a Library Director in public libraries in Maine. The Library’s new hours are the following: Mondays: 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.; Tuesdays: 4 – 7 p.m.; Saturdays: 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. We hope, in future months, to possibly be able to offer a few hours on an additional day of the week, providing a volunteer might become available to help with that. The Library continues to offer FREE internet access, both Wi-Fi and also public access computers for patron use. Photocopying and printing services are available for $.15 per page. We also offer Inter Library Loan service. Also, the Library offers print books for all ages, audiobooks, and a small collection of DVDs, which we hope to increase in the upcoming months. The Library has a website (www.berrylibrary.com) In addition to posting announcements on the site, our automated card catalog can be accessed by any computer or device through our website. We also maintain a Facebook page, which we use to announce upcoming events. We hope to continue collaboration with other nearby libraries this year in offering a children’s summer reading incentive program. Our goal is to serve the community. Please let us know how we can best meet your literary needs. Happy Reading!

Respectfully Submitted,
