This program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
About the Library
Since 1862, the Stockbridge Library has a held a special place in the life of the town. The lively side of its days and nights includes warm and casual literary gatherings, readings, art openings and concerts. Even though we are a thoroughly modern library – with a growing collection of DVDs to borrow, and computers and WiFi for patrons to use – the Stockbridge Library is also still a quiet place to be with books. Come on in, pick one off the shelf, and sink into a comfortable chair in the Bement Room. Or borrow books from any library in the Western Massachusetts CWMARS system – by using this website at home or on a computer at the Library. We look forward to seeing you.
–The staff of the Stockbridge Library
