TESTIMONIALS FROM LIBRARY DIRECTORS

Neil Novello presented his Castle program here...on two occasions to capacity crowds each time. On both occasions attendees were informed, entertained and fully satisfied with the experience."

Andy Richmond, Director, Rye Public Library, Rye, New Hampshire

"Mr. Novello's presentation drew a record-setting crowd of 54 people and did not disappoint. The balance of video clips, still photos, and narrative kept everyone interested and informed."

Brianna Sullivan, Director, Plaistow Public Library, Plaistow, New Hampshire

...there was not much information readily available on the Naval prison's history until Mr. Novello's in depth presentation...was an overwhelming successful event for
Lee Perkins, Director, Rice Public Library, KIttery, Maine
