NEWS:  

The March 26 book sale netted $1024, a great effort by all involved.  The friends have authorized the Library's Friends funding request for 2022, it was for $6,950.00 and while it is a good amount we are hoping the library can do more programming this year and we will see more participants utilizing Library programs this Summer.  The breakdown this year is $4,550 for youth and $2,400 for adult.  The money will support fees, supplies and refreshesments for performers and programs as selected by the Library.  additionally we funded the purchase of "We Love the Ellsworth Public Library" signs you are hopefully seeing out in town.

The Library has started a search for a new Director as Amy has taken the Director job in Northeast Harbor.
