Return of the Holiday Raffle

The Trustees will again be holding what is now our Annual Holiday Gift Raffle. We're seeking donations of handcrafted items, merchandise and gift certificates (local businesses preferred). If you are a crafter or local business merchant, your donations are greatly appreciated. If you know some talented crafters or business owners, requests from you for a donation on the Library's behalf would also be appreciated.

The Library is running on quickly-depleting trust funds and donations only right now! We are depending on the continued generosity of our residents and patrons in order to stay open. THANK YOU!

It is asked that items be in the Library by November 10 so we can begin selling tickets. Raffle will be drawn in December. We'll begin posting the list of items to be raffled here as soon as they start coming in so be sure to check back soon!
Great Prizes are already coming in! Come check out the prizes and start entering to win!

Friends' Bake Sale - Election Day!

The Friends of the Hubbardston Library are baking again! Their bake and book sale were a tremendous success in October so they're holding an encore. Be sure to treat yourself for voting by buying a baked good at the polls on November 4. Volunteers are needed to both bake and sell items. Contact Wendy at 928-4737 to sign up.

Hours Change Beginning November 3

The Library has found it necessary to adjust our hours. New hours are:
  • Mondays 2-7 pm
  • Tuesdays 4-7 pm
  • Wednesdays 9 am - 2 pm
During these hours patrons may run across some new faces. Please be kind as our volunteers learn the ins and outs of running our library!

Also, be sure to congratulate our Library Director, Jayne, on her new position as Director of the Petersham Memorial Library - what a great catch for them! And be sure to thank her staying on to lend us a hand.
