ANNUAL REPORT—FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
Carole Smith & Jane Harrington
This year was a productive and enjoyable one. Our activities included: A
Book Author Luncheon at Bald Peak, One Book/One Child Program for all
students at Moultonborough Central School, weekly computer instruction,
summer computer classes, seasonal book discussions with scholar, informal
book talks, a Souper Bowl Party for library patrons, the purchasing of
passes to many local attractions for library card holders, and a Literary Field
Trip to Frost Place. We also financed and helped with the children's holiday programs. In ad-
dition, we honored Cheryl Kahn with the Mary Rice Award 2012. Libby Tuttle, Anne McLean,
and Sandra Barnes received our first annual President's Award for outstanding contributions
to our library. Celebrations were held to acknowledge the 20 year anniversary of Nancy
McCue as Library Director, and the 30 year anniversary of Jane Rice. We also acknowledged
the publication of Jane Rice's first book with the presentation of a signing pen. A Pepe Her-
man bowl was given to Marianne Rapp to show our appreciation for her two years of service
as past-president of the Friends. Thanks to all of you for the donation of your time and tal-
ents. We are the Friends of the Library and together we have accomplished much.
Co-Prez Corner
Kathleen Seder has been a Moultonborough resident for 7 years. She retired
from a 32 year career in education. She was a Reading Specialist who
worked with staff development, helping teachers be more effective in the
classroom. She was also a Director of State and Federal Basic Skills Pro-
grams. Books and reading have always been an important part of her life.
WELCOME KATHY
We say goodbye to Carole Smith as co-president. She has dedicated
time and energy above and beyond the call of duty and has been
truly outstanding in all endeavors. We cannot thank her enough for
her service to the Friends, Library and community. She is a treasure
to the community. At the same time we warmly welcome Kathy Se-
der for stepping in as new co-pres to fill Carole’s position.
THANK YOU CAROLE

From the Trustees
A very busy summer at the library -
the parking lot is continually full!
The Trustees have happily wel-
comed Meg Greenbaum as our
third Alternate. We now have our
full commitment. We still seek
"Friends" interested in serving
with the Trustees on the Art Com-
mittee and the Landscaping Com-
mittee. Minimal work but we
need creative ideas. The Trustees
are truly appreciative of the en-
thusiasm and energy of our won-
derful "Friends". Together we are
helping the Moultonborough Li-
brary make a very special contri-
bution to life in this community.
A Lovely Literary Experience
Early Thursday morning on June 13th 44 eager "Life Long Learners" boarded a luxury coach for a literary experience. After driving up to Franconia Notch through fields of blooming Lupines we arrived at the Frost Place around 10:30 am. We were greeted by smiling docents who directed us up into the "Henry Holt Barn/Visitors Center. We were shown a short video on the life of Robert Frost. Then Maudelle Driskell, the Executive Director of the Frost Place came to the podium. A young woman with a slight Southern in-flection to her voice proceeded to hold us spell-bound for the next half hour as she read the little known Frost poem "Out, Out." Her presentation explained the historical genesis of the poem and gave understanding as to why Frost was motivated to write the poem. It was extremely powerful. The group then divided up with one part going on the poetry trail and the other group to tour the home-stead and vice versa with a little time to peruse the gift shop. After 2 hours we boarded our bus and drove to the Hilltop Inn in Sugar Hill for a buffet luncheon and tour of that charming property. By popular request we made one more stop at the Harmon Cheese Factory before heading back to Moultonborough. Carole Smith brought closure to a delightful day by quizzing us on the return trip with a short game of trivia about...who else but....Robert Frost !
