2010 Community Report

The Frothingham Free Library was a bustling hub in our community during 2010. We offered twenty nine adult programs including book discussions, a memoir writing workshop, and a Save Energy, Save Dollars workshop. During the summer reading program we offered thiry one programs with 922 people in attendance. 184 children and young adults participated in the summer reading program. They read a record number of 2141 books. We continue to have a weekly story hour every Tuesday morning. During the year, we also had special Key Club story hours, a music program with Gary Van Slyke, Halloween entertainment, a children's Christmas party, a magic show and visits from our local nursery school. Our artist of the month provides the community with a mini art gallery.

We participated in the FONDA Community Pride Day in August. Each person who stopped by our booth received information about the library and was given a gently used book.

Our second annual Taste of Chocolate fundraiser was held in October. Everyone enjoyed the music and the great chocolate treats.

The board and staff continue to make improvements to the library. If you drove by on Memorial weekend you probably saw us painting the trim on the front of the library.

We would like to thank everyone who generously supports the library. We appreciate your help in making the library a vital place in our community!
