We Are So Grateful…

…To our perennial sponsors, The Village Bank and Lasell University, for their ongoing financial support…

…To Tim and Deb Moore for their generous donation of materials and Tim’s time and expertise to craft and install the Lexan Shield that now surrounds our circulation desk. Many thanks to the Moores for their help in keeping our patrons and volunteers safe…

…To Liz Noon, our gardener extraordinaire and patron of local Burr and Williams budding artists, who has just stepped down from the ACL Board. If the flowers in our garden spark joy for you, it is thanks to Liz and her garden crew…

…To Amy Shih from Just Next Door for her donation of new puzzles and games…

…To all of our dedicated volunteers whose help both inside and outside the building, in front and behind the scenes continue to sustain the library. Thank you Charlotte Anderson, Heidi Bankmann, Debbie Bowen, Margaret Braccio, Maria Bueche, Jill Butler, Caroline Cai, Johanne Campbell, Susan Cassidy, Ellen Chu, Anne Costello, Barb Day, Carol Gladden, Laurie Friedell, Dana Hanson, Phyllis Katz, Suruchi Kaul, Joan Klaski, Lenna Kutner, Janet Linder, Nancy Mazur, Pat McCaffrey, Liz Miller, Deb Moore, Tim Moore, Liz Noon, Robyn Phillips, Nathan Phillips, Maxine Phillips, Nancy Price, Shiv Sawhney, Veer Sawhney, Jaye Schneider, Megan Schneider, Alex Shames, Junko Shibuya, Lynn Slobodin, Martha Sweet, Iza Synott, Alla Webster, Becca Webster, Chris Weinmann, Erica Wieher

We look forward to seeing you all again in person soon!

Delivery service change

We have been thrilled to offer bicycle delivery these last few months
and we will continue to do so as long as weather cooperates.
However, given the time change and a busy schedule for our fantastic
delivery crew, we will only be offering delivery to Auburndale, West
Newton and Lower Falls (02466, 02465 and 02462)
. Thanks for your
understanding and to the Phillips family for providing this service!
