Goodnow trustees approve photo-driven annual report, accept $10,000 GLF e-book gift

SUDBURY — February 4, 2025 — Goodnow Library Trustees approve redesigned annual report and accept $10,000 foundation gift for e-books. Library Director Esmé Green told the board Feb. 4 that the Goodnow Library Foundation had voted to fund additional e-book content, and presented a photo- and graphics-heavy annual report that trustees approved unanimously. Green said the town's sustainability coordinator, Danny Marini-King, is leaving, throwing the spring farmer's market grant into uncertainty before the Town Manager's office assigned an intern to keep the project alive. She told trustees that roughly $9,500 in second-year LSTA Sudbury Indigenous History Grant funds had just landed, and that the library had been forced to turn away passport applicants after federal executive orders on gender markers — guidance that reverted Feb. 4 to the prior application form. "I honestly don't know what they're supposed to do," Green said of patrons whose IDs no longer match.
