A stunned Padraic, aided by his sister Siobhan and troubled young islander Dominic, endeavors to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer.

Library trustee
Want to be a Middleburgh Library Trustee? Petitions are now available for individuals who would like to run for a seat on our Library Board of Trustees. Petitions may be picked up at the library circulation desk and must be returned to the library by March 21. Trustees are elected by popular vote and serve 3 year terms on the library board. Trustee candidates must be 18 years of age and reside in the Middleburgh School District. The most important qualification for an effective Trustee, however, is a strong and genuine belief in public libraries and their mission in the community as centers for information, recreation, and lifelong learning. A candidate must also be willing to devote appropriate time and effort to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of trusteeship.
Duties include regular attendance at board meetings; devoting time to committee service and activities; being visible and vocal in the community on behalf of the library; and taking the time necessary to study and learn about the library and the social, legal, and political context in which it exists. We look forward to meeting you!
