Select Board hears from library representatives as it reviews $3,500 appropriation

Town of Ira Select Board · March 2, 2026

Summary

Jeanne Kirbach, Ira's library representative, and MaryAnn Black described services and community programming as the board reviewed a $3,500 request for the Rutland Free Library; one resident said he preferred direct solicitations to warrant votes.

Mary read Article 7 proposing $3,500 to support the Rutland Free Library. Jeanne Kirbach, Ira Representative to the Library, spoke about the many services and programs the library offers, and MaryAnn Black said the library sponsored downtown events during the recent school vacation week and serves as a valued community hub.

Benjamin Kerstetter said he would "prefer individuals knock on his door for support rather than having articles voted on," expressing a preference about how smaller community requests are solicited.
