NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams Public Library and the North Adams Historical Society will host author Samuel M. Trudel on Wednesday, April 16, at 6 p.m.

Trudel will discuss his two-book series on the Arnold Print Works and its leader, W.M. Arthur Gallup.

Trudel's presentation will cover Gallup's 50-year leadership of the textile manufacturer, during which the company expanded to a 26-building complex employing 3,000 people. The presentation will include photographs of the company's operations, fabric samples, and family documents.

The event will take place in the library's 3rd-floor community room.

The Arnold Print Works, under Gallup's leadership, became known for textile quality and design. Gallup was also known for community support and philanthropy.

Trudel is Gallup's great-grandson, and his books document the history of Arnold Print Works from 1868 to 1942.

The North Adams Public Library is located at 74 Church Street, North Adams, MA 01247.

Icy Rain, Snow for Berkshires Today; More Snow Forecast This Weekend

10:59AM / Wednesday, February 18, 2026

Update at 4 p.m.: Ooops, looks like the nasty weather slipped southward, alleviating North Berkshire from more snow but bringing slushy mush to central and South Berkshires. Drive with caution.

The never-ending winter gave us a few warmish, clear days — a tease of spring — but that's apparently over.

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm advisory to North Berkshire, Southern Vermont and the New York Capital District.

The advisory begins at noon Wednesday and runs through 4 a.m. on Thursday.

Be prepared for one to 4 inches of precipitation — a sleety rain that will turn to snow later in the day.

There were predictions of up to 6 inches but meteorologist Steve Caporizzo at ABC News10 on Wednesday morning has an updated forecast of 3 to 5 inches across North Berkshire and one to 3 inches to the south.

There's no worry on school closures or delays in Massachusetts as it's winter break. Vermont schools, however, are still in session with their break beginning next week.
