Libraries have been an integral part of my life since I was a young child and loss /diminishment of its services would impact me in an extremely negative way. I have fond memories of browsing in the stacks as a child regularly and choosing books to read. As a young parent I enjoyed hanging out there with my kids in the welcoming children’s area, reading and choosing beautifully illustrated books. During the pandemic, I was able to continue finding materials due to the institution of curbside pickup. Today the library and the Libby app are where I weekly find the books, e-books, audiobooks, and DVDs that enrich my life so substantially. I rarely buy books, except for others occasionally. The library is a welcoming space for all, and in addition to books offers connection, and all sorts of programs for all ages. Kudos to the kind, helpful and friendly library staff I have known over the years.

I really like the Sharon public library because they have fun crafts that let me interact with other kids!

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.
