Rutland Free Library representatives describe programs as Select Board reviews $3,500 request
Summary
The board reviewed a $3,500 appropriation request for the Rutland Free Library; the library representative and a volunteer highlighted programs and community events and one resident questioned using ballot articles for small grants.
Mary Richthammer read Article 7 proposing $3,500 to the Rutland Free Library to provide services to Ira residents.
Jeanne Kirbach, Ira representative to the library, spoke about the library’s many services and programs. MaryAnn Black said the library sponsored downtown events during the recent school vacation week and called the library a valued community hub. Resident Benjamin Kerstetter said he would prefer individuals knock on his door for support rather than placing small appropriation items on the ballot.
The board recorded no further questions; the appropriation will be on the ballot for voter decision.
