As we excitedly anticipate to the installation of new carpet later this spring throughout the Reading Room, Children’s Room and office space, we are in full planning. Every shelf and piece of furniture that is not attached to a wall will be moved, most for the first time since the library was built in 2006! So not only are we anticipating the carpet install needs, but if the spaces could use any shifting when we bring them back together. Please share what future needs or wishes you have (that’s how we meet those needs)…WPL is hoping our community can help us with: STURDY, clean box donations, starting now. – Muscle to move shelves, etc. Details TBA once we know when. But if you have teens who need volunteer hours, we will be able to provide plenty of them!

After two years of not being able to hold the Annual Rotary Egg Hunt, the Waterville Rotary Club
were ready with over 2500 eggs, plus goody bags AND the three golden eggs winners’ giant chocolate bunnies.
Thank you to all who braved the mixed snow/rain spring weather.
It was certainly a year for baskets brimming with eggs!
Since it also turned into a great year to serve cocoa (in April…), we only have a few pictures.
But hopefully you snapped plenty of your own. Thank you to Rotary, to the Easter Bunny for hopping by,
and to all of you for being such fun. Catch the official photo of the golden egg winners in the Waterville Times.
