We're so thrilled to be back among the funded Departments of the Town of Hubbardston for FY 2010. The staff and trustees wish to thank all those who worked so hard to keep the library a part of Hubbardston's past, present and future. Over the course of this difficult year so many good and noble people stepped up to the plate in support of our library and we wish to recognize them. We also acknowledge with gratitude the hard work and determination of the Finance Committee and Select Board in presenting a balanced budget which included the library.
As the library begins this new chapter in it's 135 year old history, we want to encourage all our patron's to tell us what they want their library to be in the future. We want to hear from you.
We have a long road ahead of us but we'll get there if we work together.

In this year of our library's re-birth is fitting that we rectify a mistake (an honest one) made long ago, and replace the unsightly hedge surrounding part of the library grounds with something better looking and NON-INVASIVE.
Effective January 2006, berberis thunbergii and berberis vularis were placed on the Massachusetts Prohibited Plants List, yet barberry is still in place at the library as a hedge. Why? There are significant reasons why plants are include in the list and invasive species are not to be taken lightly.
People's choices as to alternates should be sought and a final selection made by an informal group of interested persons working in concert with the Library Trustees.
Further, it is most fitting that no publicly appropriated funds be used for this project.
Perhaps a hedge fund can be started that has nothing to do with gambling in the financial sector. It will be most pleasing to a son of a Vesta Club member to see the hedge replaced at last. The Vesta Club, made up of former school teachers, were generous in giving of their meager resources to beautify the library grounds, and we can keep faith with them by doing it anew with different plants.
