Gilmanton Children Vote for the Ladybug Book

Jennifer Stevens, Children’s Library Assistant at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library, reviews books nominated for the 2009 Ladybug Book award with Gilmanton children who will vote for their favorites.


Jennifer Stevens, Children’s Library assistant at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library, invites Gilmanton children  to review the ten books nominated for the Ladybug Book Award.


Each year children, preschool through grade 3  throughout New Hampshire, are asked to vote on their new favorite picture book.  Ten books have been nominated for 2009. All of the books are on display at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library across from the Gilmanton School. After the votes have been tallied by the Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library,  the Ladybug Book of 2009 will be announced.


The Ladybug Book Award voting continues through the month of November. Mrs. Stevens  hopes many children will cast their votes.


The GYRL is open Tuesday and Thursday from noon until 7 pm and on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Story times for pre-schoolers are scheduled on the first and third Saturday mornings of each month at 10:15. Starting on November 18th, an additional story time is scheduled for Wednesday mornings at 10:15.  Story times are geared towards pre-school aged children, but all are welcome. The Library is located at 1385 NH Route 140 across the road from the Gilmanton School and is handicapped accessible.

 


 

Gilmanton 2009 Tax Rate Set


The Gilmanton Board of Selectmen has met with the Department of Revenue and set the Town’s tax rate for 2009. The tax rate for 2009, which will be reflected on the Town’s second tax bills, is 20.98, the same as for 2008.  All Town staff participated in a tremendous effort to hold the line, starting with level funding the 2009 Budget across departments, and continuing throughout the year with carefully assessing the necessity of expenditures. The breakdown is as follows:


Town of Gilmanton 4.38
County 1.40
Local School Effort  12.71
State School Effort 2.49
Total 20.98
 
Sawyer Lake Village 2.18
Gilmanton Corner 0.13

Food may be dropped off in the collection boxes at the Gilmanton School or the Academy Building/Town Offices in Gilmanton. You can also bring your donations directly to the food pantry by calling Jane Sisti @ 364-7437.


Some of the items needed for the baskets are: stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, canned fruit, cereal, spaghetti sauce, pasta, cream of mushroom soup, canned gravy, tuna, mayonnaise, bottled juices, sugar, coffee, muffin mix, pie filling and crust mix, pickles and olives.  We also are asking for donations of turkeys, hams, breads, rolls, butter/margarine, milk, eggs, fresh fruit, potatoes, squash, and onions. If you wish to make a monetary donation towards the purchase of items for the holiday baskets you can mail a check, payable to GCC Food Pantry, with a notation of holiday food baskets on the memo line, to Gilmanton Community Church, PO Box 6, Gilmanton IW, NH 03837.


We have also begun our annual Adopt-A-Child program for Christmas. If you are interested in adopting a family or a child or two, you may call Jane Sisti, 364-7437 or Beth Lavin, 267-1934 for more information.
