My daughter gets very excited when I tell her that we are going to the library. Thanks to those visits to the library I was able to get her to love reading again. When we get to the library she has a lot of fun choosing which new books she will read this time. She always chooses more than 5, I am very happy with all this. Thank you to all of you who make it possible for this library to remain open at no cost to those of us who still believe in the power of reading. Thank you!

The Sharon public library has made books and other resources available to our town community, I love working there. Some books are tough to find outside of the library and the vast collection allows anyone to find whatever book they need.

I thought that the arrival of the personal computer would spell the end of the public library. Not only didn't that happen, but the library -- both in person and virtually -- is in some ways more important to people than ever. It remains a vital resource for our community. I think of the Norton Public Library as the real heart of our town. People of all ages consider it theirs. Which it is. Libraries deserve all the support they can get from our local and state legislators. Thank you. Robert Lovinger

Joseph Plumb Memorial Library in Rochester supports my child care center! The librarians help provide a variety of books to build upon our youngest learners early education curriculum! I’m able to reserve books for all our classrooms and switch them every couple weeks to keep our classroom books interesting for our students! This helps us keep costs down & stay eco-conscious as we don’t need to purchase all the books we use but can share with our community!

My library helps me access books for adult learning about my career and interests in creative ways! Especially the CWMars system. I get so many gorgeous books about architecture. Chelsea always has a great recommendation and does so much to facilitate community engagement. I am so grateful for GML and only wish there were more hours!
