    I discovered Gaylord Memorial Library about two summers too late into college, but I was happy to…read morehave found it nonetheless. They have an incredible collection of leisure books be they fiction or non-fiction. They have an entire floor in the basement dedicated for children. Their movie collection is also impressive (and I personally found it more rewarding than the library for Mount Holyoke College). If only I had known earlier... The only caveat to Gaylord is its limited hours. They are only open Thursday 1:00 pm -8:00 pm, Friday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am - 12:00 pm so that maybe a little inconvenient. However, it is mostly run by volunteers and with a limited budget, I guess there is nothing much to be done. But it is really very easy to get a free membership and just drop by every now and then to pick up some good reads. This place also has weekly/monthly events for interested locals both young and old. They also have workshops for origami, knitting, etc. and various book clubs and teas. I still remember running by the library on warm summer afternoon and browsing through the shelves of romantic novels. So, I am putting this word out there mostly for my sisters in Mount Holyoke, and also the residents of the area: if you have not visited Gaylord library, you are missing out on a very good part of South Hadley.

    Nice library, but it is privately owned with very limited hours. I accidentally returned public…read morelibrary books here and it was a pain to get a hold someone there and for them to find where they put them. Once i got someone who wasnt a volunteer, she was helpful in straightening out my fines with the regular library system.
