Library Feasibility Study Recommends Securing the Harbor Hotel Lot

            The Trustees of the Abbott Library received the results of the feasibility study completed in December. The study found that over 90% of those surveyed favored a new library and over 80% favored the Harbor Hotel site. A key recommendation of the study was to purchase the lot. In order to support this effort, the Board urges those shareholders who are in a position to do so, to donate as many shares as they see fit to the Town of Sunapee to be used for the purchase of the lot. In light of the current economy, all such donations will be seen as even more significant, and the sooner the lot can be purchased, the sooner the Library can move forward.
Shareholders will receive a formal letter certifying the tax qualifying non-profit nature of the donation, and the SHR office will supply them with the current value for their tax records. All shareholders should consult their individual tax advisors before making any donations. Shareholders are also encouraged to support this effort by additional cash contributions, and the Library or the Town can be contacted directly for those arrangements.
Shares can be sent to the Town of Sunapee by mail or in person, and if there are any questions about shares or shareholdings, please contact the office at 603-763-9988 or on line at sunapeeharborriverway@myfairpoint.net.
