2010 ANNUAL REPORT ENFIELD, NEW ... - Town of Enfield

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Judy Kmon,
who served as a dedicated trustee for many years. She was replaced by Shirley
Green, who has kindly agreed to assume her responsibilities as Treasurer.
We look forward to the future when we will have a larger facility in
order to expand the range of programs that we are already offering for children
(such as elementary class visits, after-school activities, and summer reading
initiatives). We will also be able to enhance efforts aimed at older students and
young adults (like G.E.D. preparation, mentoring, and online course test
proctoring), which can be better accommodated in designated spaces. The new
building will provide greater educational access for young parents with
preschool-aged children. In addition, there will be workforce development
opportunities for job seekers and those interested in improving their computer
skills.
With signs that the economy is gradually improving, a complete “shovelready”
project, and stable construction costs, we are in an ideal position to realize
our goals. While we still face many challenges ahead, we have laid solid
foundations for the realization of a new, fully functional Enfield library
