The successful candidate will be the "face of the Library"-a forward-facing and vital participant in the New London community bringing new services and programs to town residents. Ready to enhance the Library's role in a world that continues to change, the director will report to a seven-member elected governing Board and work collaboratively with the library staff, the Friends of the Library, community partners, and the Town of New London to provide essential library programs to its 4,600 residents. Supported by a $600,000 municipal appropriation, the Library is proud of its many services including homebound delivery, digital offerings, a public meeting room, museum passes, and the Tracy Little Free Library at Bucklin Beach. The community also enjoys the Garden at Tracy Library-an Olmstead-designed garden. The garden was completed in 1926 and restored in 2002 with community and financial support. Jane Tracy's vision of a garden enjoyed by all lives on through the help of generous donors and hardworking volunteers. Key opportunities are working with the New London community to develop and implement new library services and programs, developing and implementing a strategic vision responding to community needs and wishes, and continuing to update, renovate, and maintain the Library facility. Our Community. The Town of New London<https://www.nl-nh.com/> is in the beautiful Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region of New Hampshire.

Attractions include the Town Common-a lovely place to sit and relax, Main Street-small shops, casual eateries, theater, and historic buildings, the Bob Andrews Memorial Ice Rink, and Sunapee Lake with its wide variety of outdoor activities.

Re: [Michlib-l] ***A Library in Need!!!!!

Hi all - Please contact RIDES via the Assistance Form at https://www.mcls.org/rideshelp in advance if you plan to send more than a few donated teen items to the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library via RIDES delivery. If a library is sending a large amount of donated items then we may need to facilitate special arrangements with the courier. Thank you, Tara Kanon MeLCat Support Specialist & Statewide Delivery Coordinator Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) 1407 Rensen St. Suite 1, Lansing, MI 48910 800-530-9019 ext 144 kanont(a)mcls.org<mailto:kanont@mcls.org> [acebook]<https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org> [witter] <https://twitter.com/mclsorg> [cid:image003.png@01D6EFE7.CBF58F40] <http://www.mcls.org/> ________________________________ From: Andrus, Miriam via Michlib-l <michlib-l(a)mcls.org<mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org>> Date: Wed, Jan 20, 2021, 11:58 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] ***A Library in Need!!!!! To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org<mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org> <michlib-l(a)mcls.org<mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org>> Hello Library Friends - In May of 2020, the Midland, MI community sustained substantial flood damage after two dams failed. Bridges were washed away, homes were ruined, but the Midland community came together to help one another (amid a pandemic no less!) The Grace A. Dow Memorial Library was no exception. We sustained substantial flooding to our lower level when water poured into the basement through our windows. We are now working our way through a 2 million dollar renovation project to restore our library and mechanical systems. However, this e-mail is not about my Library. This e-mail is about Windover High School's Library. Windover is a specialized high school that accommodates Teens who often experience homelessness, abuse, and neglect. The School has a food pantry, shower for students, and a basic needs pantry (clothes, chap stick, deodorant, etc.). They even have a laundry so students can wash their clothes at school if needed. In May, 90% of their library was washed away. Water was almost 4 feet high in their building and their books were housed on short picture book shelves. It wasn't until right before Christmas that they reached out to me to see if our library could help them. They have received many book donations but many are too old, (think 1970's encyclopedias), or not geared toward teens. They need materials and don't have money to purchase much as they too are dealing with a large and expensive renovation project. If anyone reading this e-mail has extra Teen books we would greatly appreciate them in Midland! I know librarians are big readers and some of you may have books sitting around your homes you are willing to donate. Maybe some of your libraries are weeding your Teen collection and somewhere to send your books. We would love any teen materials we can get. If you have donations you can mail them to 1710 West St. Andrews Midland, MI 48640, send them through rides ZV225, or if you are in our area you can drop them off in our exterior book drop. Even if you only have one book, it will help. If you want to see how the flood affected our Library you can watch our video here https://fb.watch/386fSYHBvq/ Thank you for any/all of your help!! -Miriam [cid:image011.jpg@01D6EF23.14D5D460] Miriam Andrus Director, Grace A.
