Williamstown Picks Curran, Sussman as Library Trustees

Staff Reports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Some 411 voters, or about 9 percent of registered voters, went to the polls on Tuesday to determine the four-way race for two seats on the library board of trustees. 
 
Janet Curran and Michael Sussman, separated by three votes, came in first and second, at 219 and 216. They will join the seven-member committee overseeing the Milne Library. 
 
Candidates Kathleen Schultze polled 205 votes and Martin Mitsoff 97. There were two write-ins and 83 blanks. 
 
Curran was the managing director of Images Cinema until recently and Sussman has served on the town's Finance Committee and Milne's Friends of the Library. 
 
Incumbents Stephanie Boyd and Shana Dixon were each re-elected to three-year terms on the Select Board and Nate Budington for one year to complete the unexpired term of Jeffrey Johnson, who stepped down last fall. 
 
This is Dixon's first full term, having been elected to complete Andrew Hogeland's term last spring; this will be Boyd's second term.
