The library amphitheater has been an integral part of our community, serving as a space to enhance the library's mission. However, the current state of the amphitheater has become a safety concern for the community. For over five years, the amphitheater has been deemed unsafe due to structural damage caused by natural wear and tear. It is crucial to have a safe space that can accommodate the community's needs while also providing a comfortable and secure environment for everyone to enjoy.

Investing in a new and safe library amphitheater with accessible parking and pedestrian infrastructure is crucial for our community. A well-designed and structurally sound amphitheater can serve as a hub for various free events, such as library programs, concerts, plays, and social and professional gatherings, which will draw people from all over town. Having a safe and accessible amphitheater will promote a sense of multigenerational community spirit and belonging. Your contribution and support are critical to the success of this much-needed project.

Sincerely,
Mary E. Bartlett Memorial Library Trustees and Staff
