Why It Matters

The Library - a Vital Community Resource

Submitted By Board of Directors, Gilmanton Year-Round Library

 

Benjamin Franklin understood that for democracy to flourish, all citizens must have access to the knowledge and information they need to participate in that democracy.  To this end, he and his colleagues devised a plan to create a single collection of their combined personal libraries and make these books available to the citizens of Philadelphia.  Thus was the concept of a public library born.

 

Now, nearly 200 years later, the Gilmanton Year-Round Library continues the tradition.  Resources available at the library allow every Gilmanton resident an equal opportunity to access information regardless of socioeconomic status.  Whether it is a child learning the alphabet or a senior searching for computer assistance, the librarians are there to help.  Early childhood programs insure that every student has the opportunity to begin their school years with appropriate language skills.  Library resources for older students allow those with less access to information at home to keep up with their peers.  Adults benefit by finding information needed to pursue further education, conduct job searches, and research government programs.

 

Now that we’re living in the digital age, the digital divide may have narrowed.  But it has become much deeper for those who do not have computers or internet access.  As government resources become available only through the internet (including our own town information!), as e-commerce allows for better consumer shopping for those big ticket purchases, as job searching and application submission is available almost exclusively online; we are pleased that the Gilmanton Year-Round Library makes both computers and internet access available- for free!

 

As we follow in Benjamin Franklin’s footsteps, we encourage all residents to make use of the information and programs offered by the library.  Our goal is to provide every community member with the resources needed to reach their fullest potential.

 


 

Letter

 

Dear Gilmanton Residents,

The Board of Selectmen would like to save you, the taxpayer, $32,944 with no change in service. 

 

This can be accomplished simply by replacing the vacant firefighter/EMT position with two part-time firefighter/EMT’s. Presently this is how the 48 hours are being covered. 

 

This will not compromise safety,  Vote no on Article 30.

 

Sincerely, Don Guarino

 


 

Letter To The Editor

It’s not about the money

 

After many discussions about the Gilmanton Fire Department and its operation,  it is clear that any disagreement is not about money.

 

At the Deliberative Session on Saturday 2/1/2014 the voters stated quite clearly that they are concerned about public safety and do not want to be put at risk while the selectmen debate costs.

 

The selectmen have done a good job of lowering taxes, but this is a time when they need to listen to what the citizens of the town want.

 

Please support Warrant Article 30 at the polls on 3/11/14 to maintain the current level of staffing at the Fire Department while level-loading the budget.

Letter To The Editor

 

I am writing this letter out of concern for the Gilmanton Year Round Library. As a non- reader I still realize the importance of a library. I do read, but most of my reading is how to make wine and manuals to repair my equipment at the vineyard. As a land owner and resident of Gilmanton I am very excited to have such a well run, fully operational library that is fully committed to our community. With such a nice faculty I find it attractive to our younger families as well as our older residents. What a great way to show future residents and outsiders that our community cares by insuring we continue to have such a great library and facility to offer our community.  Knowledge is a tool that should not be wasted. I will gladly and proudly  pay  my taxes; whatever it takes to give our community the year round library. If we, as residents, do not care enough to give our best, then how can we expect younger families to stay and mature residents to have a place to enjoy.
