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

LONDONDERRY, N.H. -- Olivia Perry went 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBIs Saturday to lead the Greylock Thunder 18U travel softball team to a 10-5 win over the Mass Drifters at the New England Fusion College Showcase.

 
Izabela Tart was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, and Paxton Ebling tripled in a 12-hit attack for the Thunder.
 
Perry also struck out three in three innings of work in the circle before being relieved by Emma Lemire, who finished off the five-inning win.
 
The Thunder had a tougher matchup in their second game of pool play but prevailed, 2-0, against the Vermont Storm 16U.
 
Marlee Arnhold was the difference in that win, striking out four, walking one and scattering four hits in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout.
 
Mariah Barnes singled and drove in a run, and Kaleigh Jaros singled and scored a run for the Thunder, who made the most of their two hits.
