WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Grease" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 27, February 28 and March 1, 2025, at 7 p.m. in the school’s auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown.

Williamstown's Milne Library Opens Makerspace on Thursday

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The David and Joyce Milne Public Library still is the best place in town to borrow a book.
 
But it is getting to the point where the word library itself is inadequate to describe all the Milne has to offer.
 
On Thursday, the Main Street library will hold a grand opening for Studio 1095, the Milne's new makerspace, where patrons will have access to creative tools ranging from sewing machines to soldering tools to jewelry-making supplies to creative software like Photoshop and Illustrator to green screen capability to a podcast studio.
 
It marks the latest step in the evolution of the town's library into a full-service community center.
 
"I think Studio1095 is very much part of that broader evolution," Milne Director Angela Zimmermann said last week. "Libraries are continuing to provide those core services people have always relied on — books, information, technology, research help, and a place for learning — while also becoming places where people can create, connect, explore, and participate in their community, a sort of community creative and learning space. 
 
"The Thingdom and Sensory Space are good examples of that same evolution — both of which just happened at the Milne in the last couple of years. They recognize that a library can meet community needs in ways that go beyond traditional collections. And Studio1095 builds on that idea by giving people access to equipment, technology, creative tools, and opportunities they might not otherwise have access to."
 
The Thingdom is the Milne's lending center where cardholders can check out such "non-book" items as a fondue pot, a leaf blower, a paper shredder, a snow sled or an electric drum kit.
