I am Elizabeth “Betsy” Almeter, currently a Trustee on the Lawrence Memorial Library Board. I have served a three-year term and am seeking re-election on March 4 as a write-in Candidate for a one-year term. I will continue to do my best to ensure that Lawrence Memorial Library remains a well-managed and welcoming space for all, and I fully support the Director, Katie Male-Riordan and the staff. I am sincerely dedicated to connecting people with needed resources in a fiscally responsible, socially respectful manner, with integrity, accuracy and confidentiality.

I have lived and volunteered in Bristol for 14 years. Presently, I am a Coordinator for the local Have-A-Heart Food Shelf, I volunteer for the Rec Dept and Rec Club in various capacities, and help serve meals at the Mason’s Senior Lunches. In the past, I volunteered in a Bristol Elementary classroom for several years, and I served on a non-profit board in New York state. I worked in college and high school libraries and have been a devoted library patron in every town I have lived in. Being on the library board is especially appealing to me as libraries, with their books and diverse program offerings, have been a haven for me throughout my life.
