LIVERMORE FALLS — It is with heavy hearts that Treat Memorial Library staff announce the passing of former director Myra Rosenbaum.
“Myra served the library for many years with strength, intelligence and creativity,” the staff said in their monthly newsletter. “We will deeply miss her support, friendship and leadership, as well as her ability to make the library a more beautiful place with her talent for arts and crafts.”
Those wishing to donate to a garden memorial in her honor may do so at the library. “We would like to thank our patrons for their support during this difficult time,” they said.
Rosenbaum became director in 2013, serving through this year.
November also marks the start of some changes at the library – including eliminating late book fines.
“We are passionate about providing equitable library access to all of our patrons, so Treat Memorial is going fine free,” the newsletter said. “We will not be collecting fines and we will be waiving existing charges for overdue materials.”
The new policy only applies to overdue items – there will still be fees for lost or damaged items attached to patron accounts.
