Claudia Guilford, Librarian <br /> 509-649-3105 <br /> librarian(@ci.roslyn.wa.us <br /> Honorable Commissioners Osiadacz, Wright and Wachsmith: <br /> The Roslyn Public Libraryjust celebrated its two-year anniversary in our newly remodeled <br /> Location as well as the completion of the window restoration. This is such a beautiful <br /> Library and the community really Loves it! The library is still the only location in Roslyn that <br /> has space for gatherings free of charge and we now have several regular evening events <br /> including Poetry Open Mic Night the third Friday of the month, Dungeons and Dragons until <br /> 6:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, and various workshops on Tuesday evenings. <br /> Ongoing programs include: <br /> • Chess Club for elementary school age children <br /> • Storybook Reading Time and crafts for preschool children <br /> • Thursday book club for adults <br /> • Thursday Stitching circle <br /> • Lego Creation Club <br /> • Summer Reading Program in conjunction with Cle Elum Library <br /> (Attendance averaged 20 children per week for the 8 week program) <br /> New programs in the planning stages are: <br /> • STEAM program for children <br /> • Travel Log presentations by local community travelers <br /> • Ancestry Workshops <br /> Friends of the Roslyn Library continue to be very generous in their support for the Library. <br /> Once again, they have supported the library with a $10,000 budget to be used for books, <br /> digital content, supplies, new bookshelves, programs and club expenses. <br /> I have attached some graphs showing the increases in patrons, volunteer participation, and <br /> circulation. <br /> We are very grateful for the county's ongoing support of the Roslyn Public Library and are <br /> requesting continued support of $26,000 for 2025. The additional $2000 will help pay for <br /> increased costs to support new programs. <br /> Thank you foryour consideration, <br /> Claudia Guilford <br /> Roslyn Public Library <br />
