Happy New Year!

(January 4, 2010) The Trustees and staff of the Minerva Public Library wish you a happy and prosperous new year.  Although the state funding outlook for 2010 is not good for public libraries, we believe that we can manage the library's limited resources in such a way as to continue to provide you with the services, programs, and materials that you expect from your local library.  Our hope is to provide you this year with more programs for adults and families than every before.  And although the library budget for new materials is less than we'd like, you will still find a good variety of new books, audiobooks, and DVDs to choose from.  Having met with representative members of the community, and talked with the library staff, the library administration is developing a strategic plan for the next two to three years and will share information about it with you over the coming weeks.  Please continue to visit the website for information about library programs, new materials, and the library's plans for the future.
