Library Board of Trustees 2025 Annual Report

The year 2025 was an exciting period of transition and progress for Tisbury’s Public Library, as construction began on the Library’s long-planned renovation project. The project will address critical building infrastructure needs and create a new multipurpose meeting room for programs and community use. While undertaking this major project, the Library continued to provide essential services and advance its mission as a community center, meeting the informational, cultural, and recreational needs of Island residents and visitors alike.

We look forward to welcoming the community to the fully renovated and expanded Library this summer. The building will include a spacious new meeting room and expanded reading room with garden views, improved IT infrastructure, and refreshed interiors throughout. Among other highlights, the Children’s Room will feature a mural by Margot Datz, made possible by a gift from the Kathryn Goodman Foundation.

The Library Trustees gratefully acknowledge all those whose dedication and hard work have brought the project to this milestone, including the Library staff (past and present), the Building Design & Construction Committee, the Library Building Fund Board, the Friends of the Library, the Tisbury Select Board, Town Administrator, and other Town departments, and the generosity of our many donors, volunteers, and the community.
