Recently, Highland Library Board of
Trustees President Joanne Lowenthal
informed the Town Board and the
community that they are expecting to
open the new library at 14 Elting Place
within a few months.
The library will likely be closed in
November and into December to allow
time for the staff to move the present

Lowenthal said they certainly will be
open by January 2018.

crisis, entitled “Not My Child,” that is
framed in letters from a parent to their
lost child. It was recently shown to a large
gathering at the Barn at the Buttermilk
Inn & Spa in Milton.
The voice of Heroin is sprinkled
throughout the film.
“My name is Heroin. I destroy homes
and I tear families apart. I take your
children and that is just a start...My power
is frightening, just try me and you’ll see
but if you do, you will never break free.
Try my once, I will never let you go, try me
