Gayle Roberts-Cullen retired as secretary after 41 years of service to the library. She began working in the Cataloging Department right out of high school and in 1989 was named secretary in the Administrative Office.
The library staff held a retirement dinner for her on July 27 where she was given knitting bag and memory book of her years at the library.
Friends from the library and Town Hall joined Gayle for a farewell coffee on July 29th. Gayle is skilled in knitting and hopes to volunteer in a local yarn shop. She has also joined the library knitting group that meets on Tuesday evenings.
Twenty patrons attended the Bookmaking workshop sponsored by Project Literacy on Tuesday, August 14th. The instructor, Janet Scudder, is a Watertown artist and teacher at the Arsenal Center for the Arts. Janet was a relaxed, inspiring teacher, and came with lots of ideas, and supplies. The participants were so busy that few stopped to even taste the refreshments. Janet pulled related books from the library, and some checked the books out after the event. A few ESL patrons, some librarians, and a mixed age group of patrons attended.
