With the help of IRHA and have accomplished. One accomplishment $750 - Teulon TV & Laptop Family Connections, we were able to that must be noted is the award Andrew $5,000 - Bridging the Gap Prog. partner with a local grass roots based Robert, our former Board chair, received in $1,000 - Stonewall Jr. Seating program, the Stonewall Mom & Me, Play 2019. He was nominated for, and received, Family Connections and Support Group.

This program, led by students, nationally and is truly deserving of this $5,448 - Summer Students will bring youth into the library for fun award. Sometimes it is difficult not to sound MB Green Team activities as well as take them out into the redundant, but I believe the most important $2,429 - Summer Student community to volunteer. Our hugely job the Board can do is support all the Stonewall & District Lions successful Night Market allowed us to excellent programs and the gifted staff who $350 - Summer Reading Prog. partner with a number of local businesses deliver them. This report is “proof of the Teulon & District Lions to raise funds for our new bookmobile while pudding”. Our libraries continue to be creating a unique and fun event for the vibrant and integral parts of our towns and $300 - Summer Reading Prog. community! Of course none of this would municipalities. From the summer reading happen without the amazing creative library programs, innovative day and evening staff that are masters at establishing programming, to the highly successful Night relationships and partnerships within our Market, our libraries offer new and exciting s community to ensure that the library is a experiences.
