I was pleased to learn that Cheryl Liechty is running for a seat on the Rockport Library Committee. Last year, I had the pleasure of serving on a volunteer committee with her and was very impressed by her many contributions. 

Hardworking and always prepared, she will provide a new perspective to that committee. As a physician and mother of two active school-aged boys, she understands the needs of young families in Rockport and knows how the library can serve citizens of all ages. Cheryl understands how libraries have changed from mainly being repositories for books to becoming providers of a vast array of services and learning opportunities for patrons. She will find solutions through collaboration and bring a fresh, positive energy to this important town committee.

I encourage everyone to vote for Cheryl Liechty for the Library Committee on June 13.
