Bv Eric Steinhilber, Precinct 2
Well
, we survived Ar-
thur and while the
Fourth was a bit of a
washout, Iwas happy to see that
the weather rebounded nicely for
the remainingholiday weekend.
As is tradition in my family, we
attended the Barnstable/West
Barnstable parade. The rain
held off, the kids had their bikes
patrioticallydecorated, and there
was a great crowd on hand to
proudly celebrate our nation's
independence.
As a newly elected Town
Councilor, this was my second
parade joining fellow Council-
ors to march, the first being the
amazing Memorial Day parade
and dedication that takesplace in
Centerville each year. Half way
through our first year together,
the new Council has been great
to work with and I have very
much enjoyed working to help
make our town the best it can be,
while being a steward of our tax
funds and striving for the most
cost-effective solutions.
Part of that work is serving as
the Council liaison for citizen
committees in the town. Cur-
rently, Iserve asliaisonto theAir-
port Commission, the Economic
Development Commission, and
as a member of the Council Ap-
pointments Committee. These
committeesand commissionsare
critical to our town and help us
to address the needs and issues
across a wide spectrum of topics.
Wehave worked diligently on the
Appointments Committee these
past few months to fill vacan-
cies on all our committees to
ensure they are able to function
effectively. If you or someone
you know may be interested in
volunteering for a committee,
please contact the TownCouncil
office at 508-862-4738 or visit
our website.
Last month we completed our
capital and operational budgetfor
the 2014-2015 fiscalyear and will
now begin work on prioritizing
upcoming challenges and strat-
egizing on how best to solve them
for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. As
part of this process we will be
holding various workshops, in-
cluding one at the end of July to
discuss options for handling solid
waste. These upcoming months
are important as we prepare for
the next budget cycle and they
are also important to hear from
folks around town.
Iran for TownCouncil to serve
not only Precinct 2, but all of
Barnstable and to have open lines
of communication. I encourage
all of our citizens to contact us
and/or attend the Town Council
meetings to express your con-
cerns and share your ideas. To
that end, I also hold regular office
hours the second Wednesday of
the month between 4:30 and 5:30
p.m. at my Financial Services
office located at 1060 Falmouth
Road in Hyannis. You may also
contact me at 508-271-4501 or
ERSteinhilber@gmail.com. I'm
here to help, so I encourage you
to reach out with any particular
concerns or issues.
I am very thankful that I was
elected to serve as a Town Coun-
cilor in the town my wife and I
grew up in and the town where
we now raise our kids. I am very
proud to be able to serve our
community and I will continue
to work hard and do my best to
help my constituents in Precinct 2
and folks all across Barnstable. I
look forward to hearing from you
soon,but in the meantime,have a
safe, healthy, and happy summer!

Renovations
make Centerville

LOOKING
FOR A BEACH
READ? - Patrons
of the Alice
Owen Williams
Bookstore at
the Centerville
Public Library
look for a good
book, or perhaps
something to fulfill
their summer
reading list.
Need
a book? How
about a movie for the
family to watch? Is
your computer confusing you
again? Need a place to hold
a meeting? Well, the answers
to all these questions - and
more - can be found at the
Centerville Public Library,
where old and new have
combined to create a wonder-
ful space.
Not too long ago, renova-
tions of the beloved village
library were complete, and
in recent weeks visitors have
been welcomed into a more
spacious, more up-to-date
Centerville Library.
According to Library Direc
tor Beth Butler, change was
necessary due to increasingly
cramped conditions. Thanks
to the efforts of Cape Associ
ates and countless supporters
of the local library, change
happened in the form of a
4,500-square-foot addition.
The addition/expansion/
renovation allowed for new
spaces to be created within
the library that paved the way
for more activities, greater
efficiency work-wise, and hap
pier patrons overall.
One of the most significant
advances came in
the library 's ability to house
more books.
"We were having to discard
thousands of items a year and
put them in our bookstore,"
said Butler.
Now, the book lending
section of the library is more
extensive, and is artfully ar-
ranged much like a bookstore,
with sections clearly labeled
to make it easier for patrons
to find just what they 're look-
ing for.
The added space also al-
lowed for the creation of a
Teen Room , outfitted with
two touchscreen laptops ,
donated by a local philan-
thropist , and a number of
comfortable beanbag chairs,
perfect for after-school study
sessions.
The Children's Room fea-
tures a train table and a seem-
ingly endless array of books,
as well as happily displayed
arts and crafts projects that
