WATERVILLE -- Merrill Bank has pledged $10,000 to the Waterville Public Library's capital campaign, bringing the total pledged to just over $500,000 of the $3.2 million sought.
This gift marks the largest donation from a business to the campaign. Merrill Bank will present the contribution during a check donation ceremony at the Library at 1 p.m. today.
"In the past three years, visits to the Library have increased 14 percent and the total circulation of materials has increased 29 percent," said Sarah Sugden, library director. "Merrill Bank understands what a rich community resource the Library is -- helping more than 12,000 visitors a month pursue their information and recreation needs -- and wants to give back in a meaningful way."
Lucille Zelenkewich, the manager of the new branch on Main Street, said, "Libraries are critical in our Maine communities in helping further the learning experiences and aspirations of people both young and old."
Proposed seven-town
unit offers choice
PALERMO -- The proposed new regional school unit in which Palermo is involved includes Alna, Westport, Wiscasset, Windsor, Whitefield and Somerville, according to School Committee Chairman Simeon Blake Brown.
Brown told selectmen Thursday evening that the seven towns have two major things in common: They all offer high-school choice -- two don't even have elementary schools, offering students a choice of schools from kindergarten on -- and none wants its school closed.
