The community’s favorite place to meet, to learn and to discover. Spring 2013

Dear Library Patrons,

Every day, the Library is humming with activity. Art exhibits, book discussions, computer classes, storytimes and more are on the calendar. Many ideas for displays, classes, exhibits and programs come from people in our community. The Library’s chess, stitching and mahjongg groups, Monday Afternoon Movies, Second Friday film series, preschool fair, outdoor concerts, language classes, book discussion groups are some of the many activities and programs that originated as suggestions from our patrons. Likewise, our teen activities- including Book Hipsters, Teen Book Review Club, Just Dance parties, themed lock-ins, Open Mic night - are inspired by young adults in our Teen Advisory Group.

While we do conduct an annual survey soliciting your ideas and comments, we welcome your suggestions throughout the year. Hardly a day passes without someone stopping by with an idea or an exhibit or activity they would like to see us offer. Do you have an idea for a program, or a special expertise you could share with others? Email me or call me at rcooper@rcls.org, 986-1047, ext. 6.

The proposed FY 2013-2014 budget reflects the Library Board’s continued commitment to maintain support for our library and its popular programs and services, while managing cost increases for our community. Consistent and growing support from the Friends of the Library and the AWPL Foundation allow us to hold the levy increase to 2% for the second year while, maintaining the robust schedule of programs, services, collections and hours that resulted in record-breaking increases in attendance, visits and circulation of library material again in 2012!

For FY 2013-2014 the Library Board proposes to increase the library tax rate from $2.94 to $2.98/$1,000 of assessed value for Warwick property owners, and from $0.68 to $0.69/$1,000 for Chester property owners in our Library district. While rates are estimated, the average increase would be $2.00 -$3.00 a year.

A public hearing on the proposed Library tax levy is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26th at 7pm in the Community Room at the Library.

7 Spring 2013

Regina Wittosch

I moved to Warwick from Chester just in time for my daughters to start school. I discovered Warwick while living in Chester and was determined to live here. That was 39 years ago. I have been a Library Trustee for most of those years, working on the addition to the original Albert Wisner Public Library, and more recently, assisting in the planning and building of our new library.

I believe the public library should be the center of activity in the community. It should be a learning center for all ages, preschoolers to retirees, a place where they can expand their world. Currently the Library offers a great variety of classes and programs for all ages but I believe there is room for growth with perhaps college level classes for the community, parenting and nutrition classes and additional cultural events.

The greatest asset that I bring to the Board is my years of experience. From budgeting to personnel to maintaince of the building, over the years I have served on all the standing committees. I have learned that overseeing the management of the Library is like helping to run a small corporation.

THE DEEP A Multi-media

Celebration of Whales and DolphinsApril 24 • 6:30pm

Combining the spirit of Earth Day and National Poetry Month, poet Mary Makofske will read her 13-part poem “An Inward Bruise” accompanied by whale song, music and photos of these magnificent mammals.

Whales and dolphins (cetaceans) have been hunted, feared, mythologized, misunderstood, studied, admired, and loved. How are they part of our world? What do we know about them? What do they know about us?

“An Inward Bruise” won the Lullwater Review Poetry Prize and appears in Traction (Ashland Poetry Press), Makofske’s latest book and winner of the Richard Snyder Prize.
