(Hamilton, NY – Aug. 6, 2015) Do you enjoy working with people of all ages? Are you excited about creatively developing new programs and events? The Hamilton Public Library is currently seeking a part-time Program and Events Coordinator to continue our tradition of quality community event offerings and art exhibitions. The application deadline is Aug. 31. For more information about the nature of this position and application details, please visit the employment link on our webpage.
We hope you enjoyed our Summer Reading Program this year, and would like to thank the many people, organizations, and businesses who made this program possible: the staff and trustees of the Hamilton Public Library; the Friends of the Library; our Summer Reading Program Volunteers–with special thanks to Maureen Wallace, Susan Beattie, Patti Von Mechow, Susan Weitz, Mike and Barb Virgil, and Lauren, Amanda, and Diana Cassulis; the Hamilton Community Chest, the Colgate Bookstore, Hamilton Movie Theater, Yogate, and Maxwell’s Chocolates and Ice Cream for their sponsorship; along with our area schools and media outlets, for helping us spread the word about our special programs and events.
Many thanks also, to Hamilton Central School’s 5th grade Summer Explorers who designed, developed, and hosted a Lemonade Stand at our Gravitational Bull Comedy Juggling event on July 28. We enjoyed working together with the students and their teacher Renee Merkt and happy to partner with them through this project-based-learning activity. In exchange for lemonade, the 5th graders collected free will donations of monetary gifts and canned goods to benefit the Hamilton Food Cupboard and the Hamilton Public Library. We are all very appreciative of the outpouring of community support for these students, as well as the Food Cupboard and Library.
