I started going to my local library this past year after graduating from college and moving into Framingham. The McAuliffe Branch Library has provided me with a calm, welcoming environment to work. I've spent many hours inside the library browsing what's on the shelves, but what I love most about the Massachusetts library system is the ability to easily request a book in any other Minuteman Library branch and have it delivered to my location.

The library made me into a reader. It helped open my world view, made me empathetic and encouraged my curiosity. I also believe the library played a vital role in pushing me to become an English Language Arts teacher so I could foster a love of reading and books in the next generation, just like library did for me!
