With the recent loss of certification, many patrons have expressed concern about not being able to get the books they really want to read, some to the point of deeming the Hubbardston Library's collection as "less than desirable." If there is something you are lookig for, let us know. We can't get what you need if we don't know what that is.
Currently the Library has a small budget and a very small trust account both specifically for the purchase of new materials. We are also accepting donations of gently used books and DVDs. We'll be creating and posting a list of patron requests as well; stop by and see if there is anything on the list collecting dust at your house that you might consider donating (receipts can be provided upon request). We'll post that list here as we begin to get requests.
The outrage and disgust expressed by patrons caused by the loss of certification is understandable. We love libraries and loss of library privileges is certainly something to be upset about. But that love needs to start at "home" - love your hometown library (right now, its the only one we've got!)

Those who find the library collection "less than desirable" need to convince themselves and others of the necessity of committing the monies to publically fund the library.
The trustees and staff are to be applauded for their accomplishments in keeping the library afloat in this sea of economic peril.
