To Londonderry Town Council members, the Town Manager, Leach Library Trustees and Staff, and our fellow Londonderry citizens:

We, the undersigned, express our support for the Leach Library Board of Trustees, and in particular their efforts to increase fiscal transparency, improve governance, and ensure compliance with local and state regulations at the Leach Library.

We appreciate the Library staff and acknowledge their work in creating and maintaining a community resource valued by many Londonderry citizens.

We acknowledge that with a newly composed Board of Trustees, updated Bylaws, and a renewed focus on transparency, governance, and compliance, there will be procedural and policy changes.

We emphasize that per the Board's Bylaws and New Hampshire RSA 202-A, the Library Board of Trustees is the governing body of the Library. We support efforts to collaborate more closely with the new Town Manager and town government to continue improving procedures and policies for both Board meetings and Library operations.

In particular, we respectfully request that initiatives by groups resisting the above-referenced changes by personally singling out individual trustees, be thoroughly evaluated in light of the Bylaws, RSA 202-A, and the factual basis and tone of such attacks before countenancing them.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
