STURGIS LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
F ALL 2013
Many thanks to our Generous Supporters
Year in and year out, you show us—and tell us—how much you appreciate the Sturgis Library.
You come to the Library to borrow books and other library materials, to sit and read or browse the
internet, to connect with other members of the community and to use our special collections and
research archives. You attend programs, events, workshops and classes. You participate in reading and
discussion groups, or bring your children to story hour. Sometimes you come to escape the heat of
summer or the cold of winter. But most importantly, you come!
Some of you visit only a few times as year, but take the time to stop in and say hello when you’re
on the Cape. Others bring friends to tour our historic building, or bring a relative to look up family
history.

Become a Sturgis Library Sustainer by switching to monthly giving ! Your automatic monthly donation, charged to the credit card of
your choice, makes it easy for you to give and helps us reach our annual fundraising goal. You can set up monthly donations online by
visiting our website at: http://www.sturgislibrary.org/involved/donate. Or, you can stop by the Sturgis Library or call 508-362-6636 and
request a donation card. We take care of all the paperwork for you.
Want to learn more about our monthly giving program? Call Library Director Lucy Loomis at 508-362-8448 or send her an email at sturgislibrary@comcast.net.
She’ll be happy to answer your questions about this new and easy way to support the Sturgis Library.
In last year’s community survey, we asked you to comment on what you thought the role of the
Sturgis Library should be. Here’s a sampling of what some of you said:
• Sturgis Library should be a lending library, a research center and a community gathering place.
• Sturgis Library should preserve Barnstable and Cape Cod history for future generations.
• Sturgis Library should be a place where all ages feel welcome—a place to encourage learning,
research, discussion and social interaction.
• Sturgis Library should be a place for learning and sharing of knowledge and a place to foster an
appreciation for the written word in all its forms.
• Sturgis Library should be a place for reflection and connection.
• Sturgis Library should be a place to have fun!
Whatever your reason for appreciating the Sturgis Library, we are most grateful for your interest and
your support. Your generous donations each year fund annual expenses, including new library books,
movies, music, periodicals, games, staff salaries, building and grounds maintenance and repairs, heat,
electricity and other utilities, CLAMS fees for the circulation and cataloging of library materials,
computer resources, equipment maintenance and repairs, collection maintenance and preservation and
much more.
Since we receive only 40% of our annual operating budget from the Town of Barnstable each year,
we must raise 60% of our budget through donations, grants, investment income and other funding
sources. Your donations make it possible to meet our funding needs and to provide exemplary library
services to the community. We look forward to meeting your needs—and your expectations—in the
years ahead. Many thanks!
Sincerely,
Ted Lowrie, President, Board of Trustees
Lucy Loomis, Library Director
“Sturgis Library
admirably serves as a
traditional library as
well as one that is
reaching forward
technologically; it is a
museum of Cape Cod
history; it is a used
bookshop; it is a
Blockbuster (a kind of
video store that once
existed); it is a forum
for authors and other
presenters; it is a place
of contemplation (such
places grow more rare);
it is a place where old
friends are found for
the first time.”
