Melanie Dana, current member and former chair of the Library Trustees, recalled Noblick’s efforts to serve the whole community, young and old, permanent and part-time. Noblick talked about how so-and-so liked that book, or this is a book someone else liked, to steer word lovers to the next juicy read. She still loved being of service to the community, especially children and people looking for the right book. Noblick was 74 years old when she passed on. “Martha was excited to be moving away from the pandemic and had been organizing some programming. “Martha was really looking forward to being able to offer her townspeople…the services they often have to drive distances to get at other libraries,” Cavacco said. ![]() Noblick hired Cavacco about a year ago to help with the library’s adoption of the CWMars catalogue system, a big improvement for patrons looking for hard-to-find books. She remembered her benefactor as a peaceful soul who found a home at the Goshen Library.
