Letter To The Editor


I am dismayed that the letter to “Dear Northwood Residents” concerning the NH Supreme Court decision on the firing of the former Superintendent was ever penned. Sometimes, by their actions, you get to really see the character of someone. This is one of those times.


It is not my position to either defend or accuse our former Superintendent except to say that I knew her as a very competent Director of Special Education and as such would gladly have her back.


As someone who was responsible for filling many positions and promoting was part of that process, I understand that over promoting someone is not beneficial.  Putting someone into a position that they might neither have the means or ability to accomplish will quite often end in a disaster and the promoter is equally if not more responsible for it.  Just a thought.


What bothered me about the letter though is who is calling who what, as in, is the kettle calling the pot black? The writer was the School Board Chair for the last three years.  If anyone out there wants to see a financial disaster I invite you to look at the 2009 school audit report in the 2010 Town Report. If that is not bad enough you should see the 2010 audit just out, it is no better. The School Board overspent their school budget for the 2009/10 year by over 200K and haven’t a clue where they are for the current year that ends June 30th.


We are now officially  a NH SCHOOL IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENT in both math and reading. Our previous School Board Chair left her position with the school in a financial disaster, our children receiving a second rate at best education, a defeated budget disaster, no teacher contract, no para contract and she is throwing stones, GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer Reading At The Chesley Memorial Library!


Ah summer. Warm weather, sun, vacation, and most important, summer reading!  At the library we are all working hard to get ready for this year’s summer reading programs.  Once again we are offering four different programs- one for every age!  We’ve got Novel Destinations for adults, You Are Here for teens (grades 6+), One World, Many Stories (grades 1-5), and the One World, Many Stories Summer Story Time for pre-readers (K and under).  With the exception of the One World, Many Stories Summer Story Time, all programs will begin on June 27 and end on August 11.  The Summer Story Time will run through the month of July.


Novel Destinations
Even grown-ups read over the summer, so why not join in on the fun?  The library’s flagship summer reading program for grown-ups will run again this year, from June 27 to August 13, and is the easiest you can imagine!  Just register at the front desk and then every time you visit the library fill out a raffle ticket for a gift assortment.  Get an extra raffle ticket for every Novel Destination inspired book you read (travel books, multicultural stories/memoirs, etc.)!  Drawings will be held weekly and a new gift assortment will be available every Monday.  Everyone who registers will receive a Book Buck, good for money off library fines! We’ll celebrate a fantastic program with a multi-cultural potluck at the end of the summer!  Stay tuned for details.


You Are Here
Check it out!  We’ve got an online Summer Reading Club (SRC) for teens (grades 6+)! Keep track of what you’ve read, how long you’ve read and check out reading lists from friends and your favorite librarian (Danielle)!  Keep track of how long you read to earn prizes for the library’s SRC.  If you choose to create an account with our online program you do NOT need to fill out the paper forms for the SRC.  Reading goals are the same for both programs.  You have to read for school anyway, why not get some prizes (we’ve heard rumors of a fabulous reading device!) while you’re at it?  Every ten hours read earns you a prize!  As an added bonus, everyone who registers will receive a Book Buck, good for money off library fines!  Registration begins on June 27, and the link to our online program (http://www.chesleylib.com/src.html) will go live then!  Special activities just for participants of the SRC will be held every Monday at 5:00, beginning June 27.  Registration is online!


One World, Many Stories (grades 1-5)
Readers of all ages will travel the globe this summer as the Chesley Memorial Library presents “One World, Many Stories” during their summer reading program. We will explore different countries through books, crafts, and more as we read our way around the globe.  The SRP is open to children going into first grade through fifth grade. The program will run June 27 through August 11 and craft and activity sessions will be held throughout the program.  Each child who registers will receive a SRP Game Board and move spaces as they read over the summer.  For every ten hours read they receive a prize!  Registration begins on June 27 and will continue throughout the summer.  Every Tuesday at 11:00 throughout the program we will be holding special craft sessions for members of the One World, Many Stories program.  Registration begins one week before the event and is online at the library’s website.


One World, Many Stories Summer Story Time (pre-readers)
Reading to your young child on a regular basis will help build the reading skills needed once your child starts school.  It will help them to develop a life-long love of reading, which in turn helps to develop the early literacy skills that will build the foundation for a successful school career.


Join us at the library as we share our love of books and reading with the One World, Many Stories Summer Story Time (for children entering kindergarten or younger)!  This fun story time will be every Wednesday in July from 11:00am to 11:30am.  No registration is required!  We’ll be celebrating summer reading with a small celebration at the last session on July 27.
