Our library provides a community gathering space for people of all ages and interests to come together to learn, share ideas, or just play. Now more than ever I value these places that connect us all to each other and strengthen our community bonds.

I absolutely love our Plymouth public library! The support it shows to the recovery community and community as a whole warms my heart to new levels. We have collaborated on a few community events to spread education/ awareness with great turnout/ feedback . They have a recovery corner providing low barrier access to harm reduction supplies and information about resources. Amazing humans doing amazing work over there 💜🤘

I moved to Colrain about 7 years ago and the library is the place I have met local folks and where I have connected to the community. So grateful!!

The children's librarians make such a difference in the lives of the community. Miss Wendy and Miss Jenn do all they can to make you feel welcome, seen, and valued.
They are the true superheroes who save people on a daily basis.

From a traveling book mobile in my childhood town to the wonderful Ventress Memorial Library in Marshfield, Massachusetts, where I live now, libraries have been a cornerstone throughout my entire life. I wouldn't be the same person without all the books, magazines, and programs I've enjoyed at libraries my entire life. I LOVE MY LIBRARY!

Libraries in general have given me so much that it would be impossible to ever return the favor. Beverly public library in particular has given me hours upon hours of access to books that have changed my life, fed my curiosity, and opened my mind to countless perspectives both fictional and non. I’m grateful for the computer and printer access when necessary. There’s been many occasions I’ve utilized the discounted museum passes too. Thank you for keeping art and books accessible! It’s important work and needs to be protected at all costs!

The library was my solace as a child, a place to escape, study, safe to hang with friends and explore. As an adult, I have used it when my printer won't cooperate, as a source of valuable information, to research the history of my ancestry, to rent tools or other items when in need or to gather tickets for adventures. My step children have library cards and have started their own journey within the walls of books. We will occasionally grab a movie or just hang out there for an hour. Libraries are such an unbelievable resource. They should be protected and people should be made aware of ALL that they have to offer.

I use the library weekly for books, ebooks, rokus and so much more. Wonderful staff too!

I love the Colrain Griswold Library for many reasons. It is a beautiful quality building, even though it is small. It is the only high quality building left in town. The programs and staff are awesome and they will get whatever books we need. Bill Dornbush is a great tech consultant, he has helped me with my iphone and also learning how to use GoogleDocs. An old person like me needs help to keep up with new technology. I also love how they are a repository of local historical documents like the stories and maps of Catamount Hill! Authors have used these records for writing about the history of the area. Without the library these records would not be accessible. The Staff is very friendly and helpful! The Town needs to continue to help maintain the building by upgrading the electrical service to support new technology.

The library was the first place I took my daughter when we moved to town - we didn't know anyone or where anything was. We were welcomed with open arms and wide smiles. We have been part of Story Time, Summer Library Program, author talks, and R.M.S (Rochester Memorial School) collaborations. We use the SAILs network to search out books, borrow local attraction passes and visit the 'Library of Things' looking for something unique to do/learn! Plumb Library (and it's amazing staff) is very much what makes Rochester shine.
