New leaders at the library

Despite budget struggles, the town library is welcoming two new faces. Amy Sadkin, formerly the director of the Lunenburg Public Library, took over as director this week. Olivia Gatti, a longtime photojournalist in the area, has taken a job as the new youth services librarian. Gatti already has organized several programs for the town's young people, including a summer reading program. The library has endured budget cuts over the past few years, and faces another $34,000 trim in the upcoming fiscal year after a proposed tax increase was voted down in May. It is now open just three days a week in the summer.
