ByWater Solutions Announces February 2024 Community Giveback Winner

by Elise Aiello on Feb 20, 2024

Each month, ByWater Solutions selects one library to be awarded $500. These funds are meant to support libraries and their communities and fill gaps in funding to further library goals.

We are excited to announce our February 2024 winner of the ByWater Community Giveback, the Nesmith Library in New Hampshire!

The funds will be used to support the restoration of the library's History Room.

Sylvie Brikiatis, Library Director of the Nesmith Library, commented:

The Nesmith Library is undertaking a complete local history room inventory and restoration. The outcome of this work will be a collection that is much more discoverable and usable, while at the same time preserving primary documents."
