In recent years, he graciously returned to advocate to town officials on the library’s behalf, and his support meant so much to us. Judge Lavery’s profound knowledge of the library’s history was an invaluable resource. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Judge Lavery’s family during this difficult time.”
