Congratulations Granby and Holyoke!!!


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.
Granby
