Letter: Thanks for a Successful North Adams Library Book Sale

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

On Sept. 16 and 17, Friends of the North Adams Public Library held our annual book and bake sale. This sale not only raised money to improve the library and provide programming for children and adults, but was a great community event for the citizens of North Adams and our neighboring communities.

At this time, we would like to thank the City of North Adams, especially Mike Cirullo and his crew, as well as the Trial Court Community Service program supervised by Shawn Wright for their commitment to transport boxes of books to St. Elizabeth's Center.

Dedicated workers and volunteers cleaned, sorted, packed, moved, set up and dismantled the sale. A special thanks to
those who donated books, shopped and helped at the sale.

Although it is a tremendous yearlong job to coordinate and put this event together, the results speak for themselves. Books of every genre found new homes and our library patrons continue to enjoy ongoing benefits from robust sales.

We look forward to seeing all of you next year and hope you consider donating books starting in the spring of 2023.

Many thanks,

Friends of the North Adams Public Library

Two-Vehicle Crash on Brown Street Sends One to Hospital, Briefly Closes Road

Staff Reports

NORTH ADAMS — A two-vehicle crash on Brown Street temporarily closed the roadway and sent one person to the hospital on Sunday morning.

According to North Adams 911, at approximately 10:15 a.m., local emergency personnel — including the Fire Department, Police Department, and Northern Berkshire EMS — responded to the incident near West Main Street.

A pickup truck was traveling westbound on West Main Street when a car exiting a driveway on the north side of the road struck the rear passenger side of the truck. The impact caused the pickup to spin 180 degrees.

One person was transported to the emergency department with non-life-threatening injuries. Both vehicles sustained sufficient damage to require towing, and emergency crews closed the road to clear the wreckage.
