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

Mill Town Circus Hosts Free Family Event

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Mill Town Circus is offering a free community event on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 10 to 1 at Noel Field Athletic Complex.
 
The event will run in conjunction with the Children's Parade & Fair at Noel Field the same day. 
 
Mill Town Circus has staged circus shows in the past during Fall Foliage Week focusing on the region's mill history. Producers Carlo and Brenda Pellegrini said this year they decided to do something different and asked if they could add their fun day to children's activities. 
 
"For the past 20 years, we have presented this interactive circus program approximately 2500 times for audiences throughout New England and beyond," the Pellegrinis wrote. "It's tried and true — and a great time for children, parents and grandparents alike."
 
They hope to make this event as accessible as possible. 
 
This program is made possible by the generous contributions of Mountain One Bank, North Adams Partnership And Tourists Hotel.
