November was a banner month for western Massachusetts
libraries. The Granby Free Public
Library dedicated their new building on November 16. The Holyoke Public Library unveiled their new
addition on November 22. The residents
of both of those communities have much to be thankful for.
Both libraries have vastly increased their service areas
with meeting rooms, areas for children, YA’s, and computer rooms. Work and delivery areas and circulation
points are much more usable, and both libraries have accessible buildings and
convenient parking.
The celebrations were perfect for each community and were
very well attended. Among the legislators
attending: Candaras and Story (Granby),
Congressman Neal, retired Congressman Olver, Senator Humason, Representative
Vega (Holyoke). MBLC staff were out in
force to celebrate these occasions as were Commissioners (Quinn, Resnick –
Granby)(Kronholm, Murphy, Resnick – Holyoke.)
Please take the opportunity to visit both new libraries.
