McGinley-Crowe for Pelham

03/11/2026

In addition to winning my seat at the library, I’m eager to take the position of School District Clerk from the talented Danielle Pilato. She has served in this role for 9 years and when I met with her, I was in awe of her attention to detail and knowledge. I have a lot to learn, and big shoes to fill, but am excited for the insight it will bring.

I’m beyond thrilled that Laurie Paradis for Pelham School Board won the seat that she has been preparing for for years. As a mom to a kiddo with an IEP in the district, I went into a review meeting this morning confident that there will be an individual on the school board who understands school processes and that special education is a right.

Thank you to the voters for funding our schools and not cutting critical endeavors.

Thank you to everyone who came out to vote yesterday! I’m thrilled to serve another 3 years as Library Trustee. I have already read the NH bylaws, code of ethical conduct, and have studied the job goals and responsibilities and am ready to fulfill them to the best of my ability!

Last week the Council on Aging hosted a Meet the Candidate night and allowed the Library Trustee candidates to have a couple of minutes to introduce ourselves and our campaign.

Here is Ann Balcom-Dadak and I’s introductions.

I believe Ann and I are the best choices for Library Trustee because while I am currently serving and volunteering, Ann has attended meetings and volunteered as well in order to learn about the role and responsibilities. We are running to serve and to help the library and town- not to impose our views on others or to control.

Please vote ABD and MMC for Library Trustee on March 10th!

I’m a parent and a regular library patron. I'm also your current Library Trustee. For three years, I’ve been doing the work: budgets, policies, long-term planning, and protecting services during a budget cut.

Loving the library is great.

But when it comes to governing a public institution and YOUR tax dollars, experience is better.

I'd be honored to earn your vote on March 10th!

I’ve been a Trustee of the Library for three years and would like to continue. I know how to do the job, have relevant experience and education, and am dedicated to the library’s goals without adding taxes to the town.

A lot of people can say they support the library.

But only two candidates have attended Library Trustee meetings and shown up to volunteer for the nonprofit Friends of the Library in Pelham (FLIP).

Ann Balcom-Dadak and I believe leadership means doing the work before asking for the title.

Vote ABD and MMC for Library Trustee on March 10th!

Each Library Trustee also serves in a specific role and I’ve spent 3 years not just as Trustee, but as FLIP liaison- attending those meetings, serving on the board, and personally volunteering over 100 hours last year to support our amazing library.

I hope I have your support on March 10th to be able to continue this service!

I’m seeking re-election for Library Trustee and would be honored to secure your vote. I have the relevant experience and education and have been doing it successfully for 3 years already.

“Library Trustee” is ultimately an administrative/ managerial position and it is important to elect someone who understands the role and responsibilities.

Our library in Pelham is an amazing resource. Help me protect what it has to offer and grow its capabilities and services without raising taxes by voting for me on March 10th.

And because the Trustee candidates weren’t invited to the Meet the Candidate night, I’m doing my own series of videos to introduce myself.

Tomorrow is the first Meet the Candidate night at Sherburne Hall- but the Library Trustees, unfortunately, aren't invited.

A Library Trustee role isn't obvious. It's not just someone who loves the library. It is someone who understands budgets, policies, staffing and long-term planning.

For the past 3 years, I've done that work. I helped protect the library during a budget cut, and made data-driven decisions about services and programs, and implemented long-term strategies to keep the library strong.

It is a behind-the-scenes role, but an important one-and one I would be proud to continue.
I'm asking for your vote so I can keep doing the work that keeps our library thriving.

I am running to hold my seat as a Trustee of the Library here in Pelham! Over the 3 years I’ve served, I have learned so much about library administration, town budgets and budgeting, and the role of a trustee. I even volunteered over 100 hours last year to help grow library programs and offerings.

I have the experience, education (I took Library Studies courses as part of my M.Ed focusing on literature and literacy), and drive to continue. Please help spread the word!

Thank you Danielle!

I thank Meghan for choosing to continue her volunteering services for the greater good of our Town.
