More recently, an officer came out to the house to aid the fire dept in checking out a suspected gas leak. He was very patient and helpful. Another instance when I called in a reckless driver, they caught up to him in under a minute and pulled him over.

Another high score on curation, for this library's relevant, up-to-date collection of non-fiction topics. High score on community building, for the library's events such as the recent documentary film series on sustainable agriculture.

The children's room is great. They made my son (who hated reading) a true reader. They always have a suggestion for what my kids should read. All the librarians are knowledgable but I love the Children's room best! Yeah! We love the library!

I was here for an author event, and when I pulled up outside and saw all of the books inside…read more(because it's really dark at 5:45PM) I thought "now this is a library"! It's beautiful inside and is definitely what an old New England library should be; the new and gigantic libraries with no soul are just new buildings with books, but this just oozes history. My only interaction with staff was asking a nice woman where I was going, I thanked her and also waved when I left. Other reviews mentioned not pleasant people here, but that wasn't my impression at all.

Did not want to answer general questions as evident by her sharp tone towards my little one when asked a question. She clearly does not like kids which begs the question why she is even there. Boy has library culture changed in today's society. We'll be sticking with the other libraries in the neighboring towns where we actually still feel welcomed.

This farm house was formerly located elsewhere. It once belonged to an African American family in…read morethe 1800's. At that time slavery had been abolished for quite some time in Massachusetts, so they would have been considered "free blacks" until 1865 when all slaves were formally emancipated in the USA. I didn't get to see the inside of this house but walked around the outside. I estimate that this house is roughly 16' x 32'. It looks like there is a tiny second floor area. From the front it looks probably much like it did when it was first built. The back has a wheelchair ramp, a piece of metal contemporary art and an air conditioning unit in one window. There is a large bell, some seating, and an informative sign out front. It is not owned by the National Parks but is right next to the parking lot for the North Bridge. It would be easy to visit the bridge and the Old Manse (owned by the trustees) at the same time. While this house is not grand, like the Old Manse, it is important to acknowledge how all Americans have lived, whether their ancestors were born on American soil, chose to start a new life here, or were forced to.

She cited such little-known facts as:: In 1641, Massachusetts was the 1st American Colony to legalize Slavery, as well as the 1st State to ban Slavery in 1783. John Hancock was a Slave Owner.
