I cannot imagine not having our library,I go there to check out books, videos I could never afford to buy, they have computers to use if needing to do research,our library gives out so much information ,The librarians are so helpful if I am not sure how to find something they are there to assist,Our Griswald Library , in Colrain,MA, is small but it meets our needs, please do not stop funding , older people on fixed income need the library to be able to check out books and checkout videos ,magazines, we rely on our libraries, thank you for listening, keep our libraries.

My daughter gets very excited when I tell her that we are going to the library. Thanks to those visits to the library I was able to get her to love reading again. When we get to the library she has a lot of fun choosing which new books she will read this time. She always chooses more than 5, I am very happy with all this. Thank you to all of you who make it possible for this library to remain open at no cost to those of us who still believe in the power of reading. Thank you!

This library makes Marlborough feel like home. Between borrowing books/movies/games, and attending library events, I want everyone to take advantage of this library's offerings.

Knowledge is strength and libraries allow everyone to become stronger. With fewer local newspapers and international correspondents, and more social media outlets, libraries are even more important than ever. I am a library junkie and belong to multiple networks so am able to request material from all of them. I brought my children up to love libraries and they are now avid readers.

I have 3 kids and we use the library all the time. It’s helped my kids become keen readers and they LOVE the free VR game days and other events. The magician and free icecream Sundays was our fave last year.

As a graduate student getting bmy Masters degree in Education the Griswold memorial Library has been an invaluable resource. The Friendly and helpful staff have assisted me in finding textbooks and saved me hundreds of dollars in not having to buy them. Libraries are THE BEST! Thank you!

I really like the Sharon public library because they have fun crafts that let me interact with other kids!

The Sharon public library has made books and other resources available to our town community, I love working there. Some books are tough to find outside of the library and the vast collection allows anyone to find whatever book they need.

Here in Paxton we love our library patrons!
