Art Buffet is back! Join Katya and Lois to make spring-themed collages or use our materials to inspire the creation of your choice.

Nearly 25 years later, the “fad” that was Pokemon is still going strong, with more ways to engage with the franchise than ever before.

Come share your love of all things Pokemon with other enthusiasts! Feel free to bring your device to play Pokemon GO, your trading cards to battle and trade, or any of the many handheld video games to play and share with each other. Each meeting of the Club will feature a game to play together on the Library’s Nintendo Switch.

The Sierra Vista Commons Project (the “Project”) is located at 93-97 Northampton Street, Easthampton and is a redevelopment project for a mixed-used residential and commercial center. The Project is preparing to submit documents to the State for review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). Before submitting these documents, we would like to gather public input and comments on the Project as part of the MEPA Public Involvement Protocol for Environmental Justice Populations. A Project representative will be at the library to answer questions and to hear your input.
