Candidate Statement

My name is Anne Beauchamp. I am running as a candidate for re-election to the Hopkinton Public Library Board of Trustees, and would appreciate your vote.

I believe public libraries say a lot about a community and I am proud of how our library represents Hopkinton. I have always depended heavily on my local library; libraries have enriched every aspect and stage of my life. When I moved to Hopkinton in 2013, our library was ‘the little engine that could,’ being much bigger in soul than in physical presence. Thanks to our neighbors’ hard work and voters’ approval, we have a library facility that can embody our library’s mission to “inspire exploration, discovery, and engagement as we enrich and strengthen the social network of our diverse community.” I am excited for the opportunity to continue my work with the Board and the Library Director for the benefit of the community.

I graduated from Smith College and the University of Kansas. At Wellesley Public Schools, I lead equity-focused strategic use of educational data. With a husband and three daughters ages 6, 11, and 14, my main volunteerism has been leading my older daughters’ Girl Scout troops and supporting the troops’ works of community action. I have also been a classroom support volunteer and established and ran an accessible Santa visit event in town.

I would be honored to receive your vote of support in the Town of Hopkinton Annual Election on Monday, May 20, 2024.
