Volunteers Wanted for Planting in Library Park
Volunteer for Fall Planting at Library Park!
The South End Library's Park has been weeded and mulched and is now ready for fall daffodil and hosta planting in preparation for spring 2022. Many thanks to all who helped - Chris Fagg, Barbara Faires, Reggie Ellenwood, Derek Plessing, Nancy Downer, Yvette Jarreau, and special thanks to Chris Neff of the Parks Department who provided the mulch in two big deliveries.
Check the site to volunteer for planting, likely in October. It is sure to be a fun community activity that will bring big smiles to the neighborhood in the spring.
Staff Changes at our South End Library
After many years of devoted service to the South End community, Head Librarian Anne Smart has retired. FOSEL enjoyed a very congenial and collaborative relationship with Anne since its founding over 14 years ago, and we wish to express our profound thanks for all she has done for the Library and the community. Anne, we wish you the best in this new phase of your life. We will miss you!
Matt Krug, another beloved Librarian at our branch since 2013, has also left with hopes of bringing his energy, creativity, and passion for service to a new organization in the Boston area. FOSEL offers our gratitude for his service and wishes him all the best as he navigates new "waters."
