The Suffield Observer (https://thesuffieldobserver.com/category/library/page/18/)
It is no surprise to anyone in Suffield to read that our library has suffered extraordinary tumult in the last few years, with much repair work and many code requirements needing to be met and less than stellar temporary accommodations during the interim. We all rejoiced when it reopened last summer, its beautiful new Mary Anne Zak entrance offering much-needed handicapped access.
Just a few months ago I was writing to introduce myself as the Interim Library Director for the Kent Memorial Library. And now that a new director has been hired, I am saying goodbye to the library and Suffield once again.
When I tell people that I grew up in the Bahamas, I’m often asked “What are you doing up here?” Naturally, this conjures images of sunny beaches and blue waters.
The Friends of KML book collection, normally held the first Saturday of each month, will be put on hold until the library is open. Save your books.

One of the many special occasions noted during the month of March is National Read and E-Book Week, celebrated this year from March 1-7. The event was started in 2004 by an author named Rita Toews.
