Save Our Library!

hillpubliclibrary — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:53:04 +0000

To All Library Patrons:

Once again, as town meeting approaches, the library is being singled out by a core group of people who would like to see it closed. It has come to our attention that a petition is being circulated around town to cut the library budget in half and/or close the library altogether. The only way for our library to survive is to have our PATRONS SPEAK UP at the Public Budget Hearing AND Town Meeting in support of the library and the value that it has for our community. PLEASE help and show us YOU CARE by attending these meetings!

THANK YOU!

Hill Library Board of Trustees

Public Hearing for Town Budget: 2/09/2012 @ 7 PM

Annual Town Meeting: 3/15/2012 @ 7 PM

Both meetings to be held in the Amsden Auditorium at the JD Blake School.

A Message From the Library Board of Trustees

hillpubliclibrary — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:22:03 +0000

The Library Board of Trustees is seeking people to serve as alternate members of the board when elected members are unable to attend a meeting. Alternates are appointed for a one-year term and have voting rights only when filling in for an absent trustee. Because an ongoing awareness and knowledge of the library’s business is required, alternates should attend every meeting.

If you have 1-2 free hours a month, and are interested in contributing to the development of one of Hill’s most precious resources, please stop in to the library or phone 934-9712.

Visiting the Beyond

hillpubliclibrary — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:57:58 +0000

Do you have an interest in the paranormal? Please join us on Monday, January 23, 7 p.m., when the Friends of Hill Public Library will present, “Visiting the Beyond” with Curt Strutz. Curt is a cast member of the TV show “Paranormal Generation” which can be seen in 10 states and on the MyParaTV web site.

Curt Strutz loves haunted houses. We’re not talking the silly haunted houses at the carnival-these are nationally recognized haunted locations throughout the country. Curt has visited them and has the proof on film! In his “Visiting the Beyond” seminar, Curt will take you into some of the nation’s most haunted locations. He has visited battlefields, deserted asylums, and known haunted residences around the U.S. Photos, Video, and testimonies will be reviewed, as well as the history behind each location. This is not only a great presentation for folks interested in ghosts and ghosts hunting, but also for big time history buffs.

During this program Curt will discuss the different tools used by a “ghost hunter”, and possible theories about ghosts and paranormal activity. Due to some of the material covered, the show is geared for teens and adults. For more information about this free program, please call 934-9712.
