To the residents of Brookline:

I am writing to thank you for your support during the race for Library Trustee, and to offer my congratulations to Kristen Uekermann on winning a hard-fought race.

I joined the race for Library Trustee, my first ever campaign, because of my passion for an institution that's at the heart of our community life. Your emails, phone calls and your votes have warmed my heart, and have reenergized my commitment to the Town and the Library.

I will continue my work for the library and support the Trustees efforts in any way that I can. I will work to ensure that library service on Sundays in the summer becomes a permanent program rather than a pilot. I will also continue my work on behalf of Steps for Success and for Precinct 5 as a Town Meeting member.

This election has introduced me to the passion and dedication of all of us that work to serve Brookline, and I look forward to working with all of you on behalf of Brookline in the coming years.

Sincerely,

Puja Mehta

In last week's town election, Puja Mehta and Kristen Uekermann both ran for the Board of Library Trustees. It was a vey close race, which Uekermann won by less than fifty votes.
