I’ve been going to libraries my whole life. The library introduced me to Goose Bumps and Sweet Valley High when I was a kid and to Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, and John Irving when I was an adult. When I was looking for colleges, the first thing I looked for was the library and how good it was. Thankfully, the University of NH had a great library! When I bought my first condo here in Agawam, the first thing I looked for was the library. And it’s wonderful! Libraries have been a place of wonder and awe for me. I’ve learned so much. Please continue to fight for our libraries!

Thank you to the library staff for organizing programs for kids and adults, great book and movie selections, purchasing equipment available for borrowing and facilitating inter-library loans. I am grateful for everything you do to enrich our community!

The library is my favorite place on Earth and Massachusetts is great because there are so many! Brookline has record players, I learned to sew in Medford, I went to a book talk in Cambridge, I stayed cool in the summer heat in Boston, I found a new favorite in Canton. The library offers so much and makes every community better. I love having access to information, skill-building, and helpful staff. Thank you libraries !

The library is a place for the community to get together, casually,to learn and engage and be themselves. The Plumb Memorial Library in Rochester is just that kind of library and our amazing library staff make this possible everyday. We wouldn't have the library we have without them.

I’ve used the library for years, but my experience for the past several months here has been almost life-changing. Books and literacy should not just be a privilege, but a guaranteed tool to access anytime, anywhere; that’s where libraries come to play. Libraries make it possible for you to complete your TBR, when you might think, can I afford this book? Do I have space for it? You have the ability to borrow it for free, and it’s amazing. I couldn’t be who I am without the books I have read, the insights I’ve gained, the knowledge I’ve learned, all of which were found here.

Love reading the paper in a cozy friendly setting. Staff helpful and supportive- lots of community programs!
