We wish to call the attention of the trustees, both the old and newly elected ones, to the fact that there is an an- nual meeting of Library Trustees on the Saturday evening following the town meeting, and it is desired that as many as possible will attend it at the Library at 8:30.
There has been no meeting of the trustees for the past two years, possibly because they were unaware of the meet- ing being an annual one without special notice.
