I use our local Griswold Memorial Library to make copies a lot since I don't have a printer and to take out books since our budget is tight and I can't buy as many books as I would like. Also our library does many community driven events that bring people together in educational ways.

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 !
