A
A
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
Roz
and
Hill
Village
main
streets
farmers
market-
my
name
is
Glenn
Williams
and
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
always
very,
very
proud
of
is
that
Rosendale
village
Main
streets
has
been
a
collaborative
organization
with
the
city
and
with
many
other
organizations
around
the
Rosendale
area.
We're
very,
very
proud
of
the
things
that
are
happening
here.
I'm
also
very,
very
proud
that
every
now
and
then
I
get
the
opportunity
to
introduce
to
you
great
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston.
B
With
you
there
we
go
I
promise
you
I'm,
not
gonna
sing
a
song.
You
don't
want
me
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
today.
Today
is
an
exciting
day
here:
Rosendale
we're
gonna,
be
going
over
in
a
few
minutes
in
front
of
library
and
cutting
they'll
really
break
ground
I,
don't
know
what
we're
doing
over
there
we're
doing
something
now
a
dependent
library.
B
We
sat
in
the
renovation,
kickoff
and
I'm
gonna
start
with
that.
Just
so.
Everyone
knows
where
the
Friends
of
the
library
raise
your
hands.
So
I
want
to
tell
you
how
good
the
Friends
of
the
library
are
here
in
rondell
we
started
a
project
in
the
library
of
about
six
point:
seven
million
dollars
and
we
would
join
a
renovation
and
we
were
gonna.
Do
it
right
make
it
look
good
and
the
friends
came
back
and
said
we
have
a
small,
a
couple,
small
adjustments
that
we
want
to
make
in
the
library.
B
So
we
decided
to
talk
about
the
small
renovations
in
the
library
on
top
of
what
we
did
so
we're
gonna
be
we're
going
to
be
starting
today.
A
process
of
a
ten
point:
two
million
dollar
library
in
Roslindale
and
I-
want
to
thank
the
friends
first
and
foremost,
because
honestly,
it
makes
sense
what
we're
doing
the
additional
investment.
B
The
library
is
something
that
we
don't
have
to
make
down
the
road
and
in
this
neighborhood
deserves
a
first
class
library
like
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
that's
what
we're
doing
right
now:
building
libraries
all
over
the
city
of
Boston
they're,
incredible
they're
great,
and
what
happens
is
when
we
only
will
we
renovate
a
library
in
the
neighborhoods
we
open
it
up.
It
becomes
the
number
one
library
in
the
system
and
over
the
last
punchy
is
we've
made
major
investments
and
out
at
downtown
Copley
branch.
B
And
then
we
started
to
go
around
the
city
of
Boston
and
we're
on
pace
now
over
the
course
of
the
next
five
to
seven
years
to
renovate
or
reconstruct
every
single
new,
every
library
in
every
single
neighborhood.
And
it's
a
far
cry
from
seven
years
ago
with
we're
talking
on
closing
libraries
in
the
city,
so
we're
not
closing
any
more
open
them.
So
thank
you
very
much
Rosie.
Your
support
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
an
Easter,
sabe
George
who's
here
with
us
today,
who
supported
the
funding
in
the
library.
B
I
want
to
thank
Terry
McCarthy,
who
support
the
funding
library,
Michael
flower,
who
support
the
funding,
the
library
and
I
think
showa
who
support
the
funding
library
and
all
the
City
Council's
that
did
it
in
metal.
Valley
I
want
to
thank
them
all.
This
is
truly
a
collaborative
collaborative
approach
that
we're
taking
him
to
make
sure
the
libraries
happen.
So
the
new
branch
will
have
a
reading
space.
The
dogs
are
arguing
over
their
arenas
space.
They
want
a
dog
park,
community,
Reading,
Room's,
urban
reading
garden
and
computer
stations.
B
B
What's
called
little
free
library
initiatives
to
keep
books
still
available
in
the
library
in
the
neighborhood
during
construction,
so
make
sure
anyone
who's
here
with
little
people,
if
you
want,
with
the
French,
raise
your
hand
again
just
grab
one
of
the
friends
people
on
somebody
from
the
library
staff
raise
your
hand
where's
that
library
staff
grab
something
for
the
library
staff
here
that
we
can.
We
can
help
you
with
anything
you
need.
So
thank
you
for
that.
B
I
also
want
to
just
I
want
to
thank
I
want
to
thank
LAN,
Evelyn
and
Michael
for
the
for
the
great
work
they
do.
We
also
want
to
talk
about
the
solar
array
project.
It
was
installed
at
the
VCOs
Center
in
Roslindale
in
the
first
month.
The
the
light
the
the
solar
panels
have
generated
at
one
point.
One
point:
this
is
one
point
five:
what
1500
is
it
Chris
right
in
the
1500
in
savings,
1500
dollars
of
savings
and
17,000
over
savings
of
the
center?
So
we're
really
thinking
about
how
we,
how
we
change?
B
What
we're
doing
here
when
it
comes
to
the
environment
is
pottering
new
boston
trust.
These
projects
paid
for
themselves.
I
was
just
in
Copenhagen
with
Chris
Cook,
the
chief
of
the
environment
here
for
the
city,
and
we
had
a
chance
to
go
and
see
where
we
are
on
climate,
resiliency
and
climate
change
and
what
we
found
out.
B
Obviously
we
know
this
already
is
that
the
United
States
we
are
so
far
behind
some
of
the
countries
in
Europe
when
it
comes
comes
to
resiliency
in
projects,
but
what
we
did
find
out
is
Boston's
a
leader
in
America
and
we're
gonna
double
down
our
efforts.
Now
we're
gonna
continue
to
do
our
work
here
on
climate
resiliency,
we're
working
on
we
talked
about
when
I
went
there.
B
We
want
a
stage
talking
to
me
as
from
across
America
across
the
world
and
what
I
one
of
the
one
of
the
examples
I
brought
up
was
the
dedicated,
bustling
right
here
in
Washington,
Street
and
I
talked
about
transportation.
What
we're
doing
here
in
transportation
and
then
some
country
came
back
at
me
and
said
we
electrified
our
whole
bus
fleet
and
I
said
we're
working
on
that.
Well,
working
like
I'll.
B
Let
you
find
out
much
Lee,
but
but
what
it
is
it's
showing
real
progress
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
in
this
neighborhood
care
about
that
and
we're
working
with
with
not
just
not
just
for
New
Boston
trust,
but
we're
also
working
on
climate
ready,
Boston
on
plan,
while
working
on
resilient
Boston
hovering
around
we're
on
the
communities
talking
about
it.
We're
gonna,
continue.
You're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
efforts
now
over
the
course.
The
next
couple
of
years
here
in
the
city,
on
what
we're
doing.
B
As
far
as
that
resiliency
we're
working
on
more
bike
lanes,
we're
working
with
dedicated
bike
lanes
in
the
in
Denmark
in
Copenhagen
was
amazing.
50%
of
the
people
that
go
to
work
every
day
take
a
bike.
It
was
actually
kind
of
strange
to
watch
it
because,
when
the
light
turned
red,
the
bikes
and
the
constants
and
the
people
didn't
cry,
the
people
cross
the
street.
You
know
when
the
light
turns
red
for
the
pedestrians
they
starts
and
no
one
yelled
at
each
other.
B
There
was
no
hard
beeping
they're,
always
on
top,
so
we
have
to
learn
a
little
bit
of
wrote
that
about
patience
and
tolerance,
and
so
it's
coming
here
about
17
people,
J
watch
running
across
Washington
Street,
but
anyway
we're
gonna
get
there.
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
This
is
an
incredible
table,
but
thank
you
for
you.
Do
everyday
I
think
there's
other
elected
officials,
he
I
know
I,
see
Maria
as
Dale
Farrell
who's
running
for
City
Council
thank
Thank,
You
Maria,
any
other
people
here,
elected
officials.
A
B
Right
I
know
they
come
in
they're
gonna,
be
here
out
there
all
over
the
place.
This
week,
don't
forget
to
vote
in
two
weeks
important
election
day
for
the
City
of
Austin
continue
to
vote
to
the
people
that
are
here.
There's
people
in
this
park
that
you
hear
from
the
Netherlands
we
want
to
welcome.
You
I
saw
a
sense
of
people
if
you
minutes
ago,
welcome
to
Boston
and
have
a
great
day.
B
A
A
C
This
doesn't
happen
without
extraordinary
community
collaboration,
so
the
main
street's
helps
take
care
of
this
part
they
put
on
the
farmers
market.
It's
extraordinary,
every
Saturday
I'm
down
here
with
my
family,
making
sure
that
we
have
fresh
vegetables
and
and
fruits
for
the
week,
and
we're
really
excited
about
that.
My
crushes
office
is
out
here.
If
you
give
my
crush
senator
my
crush
a
round
of
applause,
please
I
just
have
a
few
things
on
the
Renu
Boston
trust
the
mayor
already
talked
about
the
community
center,
but
we
have
a
rooftop
solar
array.
C
We
have
fans
in
the
gym,
LED
lighting,
we
sealed
up
the
windows
doors,
the
cracks
of
seating,
there's
water
conservation
upgrades.
The
mayor
said
this
$1500
to
date,
the
savings
in
that
building
and
that's
all
part
of
our
climate
action
plan,
we're
doing
renew
Boston
Trust,
which
actually
uses
the
energy
savings
themselves
to
invest
in
these
buildings,
so
that
we're
building
the
community
centers
and
the
libraries
for
future
generations.
C
A
Chief
I
appreciate
it
I've
been
told
to
remind
you
that
if
anybody
needs
their
pension
would
like
to
have
their
picture
taken
with
the
mayor,
he
will
be
over
in
the
library
posing
for
pictures
with
anybody.
Who'd
like
to
have
their
picture
taken
right,
okay,
great,
listen!
Speaking
of
that
great
library
is
a
child,
walked
to
Sacred
Heart
school
every
day
from
my
house
on
Belgrade
Ave
and
stopped
in
that
library
on
the
way
home
every
single
day
in
the
60s.
A
D
Morning,
everyone
Michael
boyfriend
library,
services
for
the
Boston
Public
Library
such
a
beautiful
day
and
I
can't
think
of
a
better
day
to
celebrate
the
renovation
of
the
Roslindale
library
when
the
city
is
so
vibrant,
Boston
Book
Festival
is
celebrating
literature
downtown,
so
we
really
have
a
lot
of
things
to
be
thankful
for.
First
of
all,
we
need
to
thank
mayor
wall
for
this
project
and
for
every
meant
that
the
host
of
investments
are
all
across
the
city
for
libraries.
D
We
are
thrilled
to
be
here,
making
this
really
important
milestone
with
the
official
groundbreaking
as
we
move
from
design
to
construction
of
the
rosin
dale
branch,
our
library
values
its
neighborhood
branches
as
an
essential
part
of
our
one
Boston
Public
Library
system.
Each
is
unique
each
with
its
own
team
of
great
staff
members,
each
a
unique
community
with
unique
deeds,
hopes
and
aspirations.
It's
been
a
long
time
since
library
service
began
in
this
neighborhood
way.
D
Back
in
1878,
although
this
branch
location
open
tonight,
I'm
61
58
years
ago,
and
now
we
enter
the
construction
phase,
have
started
with
programming
in
2013
and
will
culminate
in
a
renovated
branch
in
2021.
In
the
meantime,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
please
go
fizzle.
All
of
our
great
branches
visit
the
Central
Library,
especially
West
Roxbury,
High
Park
and
the
Jamaica
Plain
branches.
They
were
nearby
and
will
continue
to
be
providing
library
services
here
in.
D
Community,
we
know
how
much
the
rosin
deaf
community
values
its
library
services,
because
if
the
branch
consistently
has
statistics
showing
usage
in
the
top
5
of
our
branches
every
month,
the
design
of
the
new
branch
is
the
product
of
the
efforts
of
the
architect.
Leo's
wine
sample
associates
our
city
of
Boston
colleagues,
Trisha
Lyon
and
Gregory
write-up,
who
are
over
there
and
the
library
staff
and,
most
importantly,
the
community
and
the
Friends
of
the
library.
So
thank
you
again
to
the
friends.
They've
been
a
big
help
and
music.
D
Thank
you
all
for
being
a
part
of
the
process,
as
we
look
forward
to
the
project
that
will
deliver
a
modern
in
the
dynamic
branch
that
helps
us
deliver
on
a
reinvigorated
mission,
a
library
for
the
21st
century
that
focuses
on
reading
and
literature,
gatherings,
faiths
and
exciting
programs,
information
access
and
skills,
development
and
the
opportunity
to
preserve,
celebrate
and
access
our
cultural
history.
Thanks
for
being
here
and
helping
us
celebrate
this
great
milestone,
thank
you.
A
Thank

it.
