WALDOBORO PUBLIC LIBRARY'S CODE OF SERVICE Our promise to our patrons: •polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful service from well-trained staff. •the direction or assistance you need to fully benefit from library services. •confidentiality about your library use within the confines of the law. •a wide range of materials available on site, and interlibrary loan service for items available elsewhere. •information provided quickly and accurately, and referrals provided to other sources outside the library when appropriate. •courteous and timely response to telephone and email inquiries. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mark Eckert, President Laurie Howarth, Vice-President Jack Waterman, Secretary Nancy Hayden, Treasurer Melissa Barbour Sally Butler Bailey Charles Anne Kennedy Susan Price Mercedes Villamel The Board of Trustees is the policy-making unit for the library.
