My child and I are avid library people. Our local libraries - Holyoke and Chicopee saved us so much money during the pandemic. I have always made sure my kiddo had access to books since she was born but also having access to our public library for other books - and the Libby app - have just meant so much to us. It means we get to consume books regularly without spending as much money on them. Please keep these services and our local libraries safe.

My parents and I have been reading every day since I was born. Mom says she also read to me when I was in her belly. We love all kinds of books, especially my mom and I. And having access to the Libby app has been so great cause we need new books.

The libraries have been instrumental to me in times of financial struggle. As a recent college graduate, the resources and community the libraries offer is unmatched and has helped me stay afloat and spark my creativity in times of need!
