Sarah Saleh: Candidate for Library Trustees

by Sarah Saleh  ·   Friday, March 21, 2025

This year our family will have been in Harvard for 10 years. Over the past decade, we have been fortunate to experience the many things that make this town special—our neighbors, our friends, our schools, our conservation lands, and, of course, our library.

I can credit my children’s love for reading to our wonderful librarians. I remember their sense of pride when they would go to the library and come home with a pile of books. I know that the library hasn’t just been like thisfor my children, but rather serves the entire Harvard and Devens communities, visitors, and surrounding towns too—it truly is the only place in town that is for all ages and stages.

Having recently become a U.S. citizen, it’s time for me to give back to the town. As such, I am running to become one of the trustees of the Harvard Public Library. I have been lucky to have served on the library strategic planning committee back in 2018 and since then have served on a recent advisory committee. I have partnered with the library and Arm in Arm to host events, such as “A Rabbi, Priest and an Imam walk into HPL …”, and the monthly Cookbook Club. I hope that my background in engineering and industry will add to the already wonderful team.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve our community and would be honored to have your support. Feel free to contact me with your questions, ideas, or comments at snsaleh01451@gmail.com.
