2022 Town Voting & Meeting

Thank you to everyone who voted on March 8th and to the hearty souls who joined us on a surprisingly snowy March 9th for Mont Vernon’s 2022 Town Meeting.  Foundation President Cindy Raspiller was re-elected to another three-year term as Library Trustee and Amy White, former MVLCF Board Member, was elected to a two-year term.  There were several items of interest to library supporters on this year’s Town Warrant.  Discussion was lively!  Residents supported release of Library Capital Reserve funding to complete the new building design and approved another addition to the Capital Reserve. The Sophia G. Daland Trust will once again match the Town’s generous contribution, bringing the total addition to $40K.  Mont Vernon is so very fortunate to have benefitted for more than a century from Sophia Daland’s legacy!  While the Selectmen’s warrant on construction of the access road for the new cemetery and library wasn’t successful this year, it gives the Cemetery and Library Trustees time to collaborate with the other concerned groups to reexamine how we can best meet everyone’s needs.
