Thank You, Seekonk Public Library Supporters

This letter is a thank you note to the wonderful library supporters who worked hard, came together and advocated for the new library building project at the June 7th Annual Town Meeting. While the results were disappointing, we came so close. According to the count, we were just eight votes short of the 2/3 majority required to pass the motion. Imagine just one more row of pink cards held high for LibrarYES! Let’s make that happen.

With your help, we will keep building support for the project, communicate facts to correct misconceptions and disinformation, advocate.

Your enthusiasm and dedication inspire us. You understand the value of the Seekonk Public Library. You recognize the need for more building space to continue delivering the quality programs and services residents have come to depend upon, and to ensure the library is at the heart of our community life for the next generation too. You are willing to speak for the Library, show your support, donate your time and gifts and come out to Town Meeting to vote for the new building project. Thank you.

We want to live in a town that invests in public safety and services, schools, conservation, sports and recreation activities and a vibrant library for children, teens, adults, seniors, job seekers and small businesses – a library that serves everyone across the town’s ages and demographics.

Our library is essential to our town’s quality of life. Seekonk needs a new library. We’re committed to make this happen. We believe you are too. With your continued support, we will drive this project over the finish line, we will get to LibrarYES!

We appreciate all you have done to bring the new library building project this far; we look forward to continuing the campaign together. And now that COVID restrictions are lifting, we hope to engage in person! The Library is there for us. We know we can continue to count on you to be there for the Library. Because in the end, the best of Seekonk comes from a team effort, and we consider you a part of this team.

Sincerely,
Anne Miller
Chair, Seekonk Library Trust
