Library Friends Group

Our “Friends to be” group will meet on Saturday February 6th, at 1:00, at the library. We are encouraging all those who are interested in helping the library to join us. We will be helping to unpack and sort books in anticipation of the March book sale. Please join us for friendly conversation, a snack or two, and the chance to be helpful. We hope to do this on the first Saturday of every month, so bring your ideas about what other things we can do to help the library in future months.

Museum Passes

Did you know you could check out passes for free admission to area museums? We have passes for the following institutions:

MassMOCA:

“Since opening in 1999, MASS MoCA has become one of the world’s premier centers for making and showing the best art of our time. With annual attendance of 120,000, it ranks among the most visited institutions in the United States dedicated to new art. More than 80 major new works of art and more than 50 performances have been created through fabrication and rehearsal residencies in North Adams, making MASS MoCA perhaps the most fertile site in the country for new art. The museum thrives on making and presenting work that is fresh, surprising, and challenging.”

Schenectady Museum and Suits-Bueche Planetarium:

“At the Schenectady Museum & Suits-Bueche Planetarium, all our exhibits, programs, and events are designed with our Mission in mind:  To inspire a sense of wonder about extraordinary scientific and technological developments: past, present, and future.”

Berkshire Museum:

“At the Berkshire Museum, there’s something for everyone. We offer a unique blend of exhibitions, galleries, and attractions for families of all ages. See exhibitions, fine art, and sculpture from around the world. Explore our touch tank and aquarium.
