Library Challenge Grant - Deadline Fast Approaching

I want to make sure that you know that Gloucester's Sawyer Free Library is on the crest of a $100,000 challenge. A private non-profit foundation has offered to support the library with $100,000 if the Gloucester and surrounding Cape Ann community can raise the same. That is a very generous and inviting offer. I hope you consider pitching in, here is how you can help before tomorrow's deadline - https://www.sawyerfree2025.org/

May This Christmas Bring Blessings And Joy To You

As the sun begins to rise on Christmas morning, I hope everyone can feel the joy and magic of the holiday. Christmas is a time of peace, love, and happiness, a day when we can come together as a community, even with those who may be strangers to us. I also hope that on this special day, we take a moment to remember and honor the servicemen and servicewomen who are working to protect our country, even as they are far from home.
