Apparently Matthew listens to a month-old voicemail message day after day, and falsely believes it is a new voicemail message each day. He then responds to the "new" voicemail message by contacting me to tell me the same thing he's told me multiple times and that has been resolved. It's like a "Groundhog Day" time loop which would be comical if it wasn't a complete waste of time and money. Taxpayers pay for the library. I contacted the director, Sharon Sharry, who didn't address the issue but rather relied on Matthew's delusions in defending him and her inefficient library.

Maybe I missed something?…read moreWell, OK here goes - First of all, let's talk about the fact that this is one of those newfangled glasses, steel constructions. No, it's not the quaint old hundred year old, yellow building that everyone in Greenfield has loved for generations. You know what that means? It means it is energy efficient. It also means it's quiet. They also means it has great light. I can't really speak to the collection because I do most of my library borrowing online but what makes libraries really important these days is an entire room for children & an entire room for teens. And that means there a workplaces and tables and books for everybody else other places that are quiet and available. There is an entire hallway of nice spacious, clean all gender, bathrooms. Thank you. And a big parking lot. Not that e we are supposed to drive anymore, but you know a lot of us need to get here.

This is a stunning library. An $8 million dollar renovation was completed in 2020 when the old…read moreHadley Library (Goodwin Memorial Library) moved into this new building. There is ample space for books, games, computers, and a well-outfitted kids play area. There are large windows that let in a ton of natural light. The staff has always been very friendly. The only downside is that the hours are fairly limited so make sure it's open before you arrive. A neighborhood gem!!

A generous gift…read more George H. Gilbert started a mill back in the 19th century and it did so well that a whole town grew up around it. And of course in honor of George Gilbert the people named the little town Gilbertville. To be technical, Gilbertville is actually a village in the town of Hardwick but it doesn't really matter because nobody really cares. This part of New England has zillions of little villages that make up larger towns and most people don't really know where one begins and another ends. George wanted his mill workers to have access to a nice library so in 1912 he had one build. A very stout and solid looking place, the kind of library that looks like it will last forever. The inside is lovely with nice old furniture, cool windows and lovely ceilings. Lots of art, some obviously by school kids and other paintings of dour looking old dead guys probably painted long ago. The library has lots of different programs for both adults and kids and has been modernized with computers and working wifi. A cool library that still is doing exactly what George built it for back over a hundred years ago.

What a lovely library!

The library has a great community feel. It makes me wish I lived in South Deerfield! There is also a children's library downstairs, which is just as big as the main section upstairs. The bathroom is also down there, so I was able to check it out. The children's librarian is super friendly, and the space is very cozy and welcoming.

This is a HIGH building, and we came just to see the DuBois center. It is not as interactive as I suspect it will be one day under the guidance of assistant director Adam Holmes. He was kind enough to talk to us for a few minutes about DuBois, and I've learned his original homestead was in Great Barrington. I look forward to coming back, and hopefully Mr. DuBois will be given the expansive display he deserves.

It's an incredible feat, and quite awesome too. There's also a basement, and a coffee area. It's also open 24/7. From a personal standpoint, I basically lived here in the Spring of 2006, as my first graduate school experience was winding down. So I have that too.

This is a top-notch small liberal arts college (about 1,800 students come from 49 states and other countries) with a gorgeous campus. The hilltop view of the Connecticut River in the distance is worth the visit! The campus has a nice mix of architectural styles with a world-class natural history museum. Afterwards, getting lunch in the town of Amherst was convenient - the proximity of restaurants in town within walking distance is a plus for Amherst students. Amherst still requires KN95 mask wearing for indoor building access and requires you to show your COVID-19 vaccination card. If you don't like this policy, that may be a sign that Amherst College is not for you. In any case, it's well worth a stop here if you're looking at small liberal arts colleges. One star is removed for not having a short restroom break during the tour. Also, the information session auditorium was difficult to find and about a 10 minute walk from the admissions office.

This College was a lot better than I expected.I went to an information session and campus tour to learn about the college for my daughter. What I learned was that they have an open curriculum and they focus on undergraduate studies and accept a student body of 1800. Their financial aid is based not on a merit system it's based on finances. The campus has newly built science center and they have the most incredible Beniski Natural Sciencecience museum!!! I didn't have a chance to go ahead and look throughout the entire museum but this is definitely on my list to come backbut they had a huge skeleton of a mammoth and that already made me fall in love with this museum. They had a great student center which house a lot of movie nights and other cool things on campus. There ihave one dedicated food Hall of the Valentine because the person who cooks there is named Valentine... I think. And they have an amazing athletic center which a humongous track and field which is the state of the yard. They have new dorms for upperclassmen and the underclassmen resides in the center square.I definitely think it's worth visiting they also have arts museum to which I didn't have a chance to look at but again I'm on my list to visit. Also this is a very inclusive College.
