The Free Library of New Hope and Solebury continues to expand its program offerings and attract new audiences to this amazing institution. The Stitch in Time needlecraft group, The Write Stuff writers group and the Nerd Studio were all launched in 2024.
The Library was saddened to see Ms. Patricia retire after over 17 years of outstanding service to the Youth Services Department, which she chaired, and thrilled to welcome Ms. Louise as our new Head of Youth Services, starting in 2025. Eric Jacobson was also promoted to Assistant Director, in recognition of the many responsibilities he shoulders on the library’s behalf.
The 2024 Annual Community Spelling Bee was a rousing success with the library again raising over $18,000 to be immediately applied toward operations.
Respectfully submitted,
Sam Pharo, Library Director
