We will be upstairs in the building that most recently held the library on the first floor and the town office in the basement. Before that our building was a the town's school house.

We are now planning layout, book purchases, we are testing a new in expensive option to automate our book catalog and check out too. In addition to all that we want to continue our role as a place for the Pittsfield community to come together. We are starting to plan programs for the next year. DO you have young children? Would you like to help organize a story time program? Do you have a talent (music, cooking, outdoor skills, writing, drawing, crafts) you would like to share with kids, teens or adults? Are you a good organizer, would you like to help set up a movie or game night? How about a book club? We used to have one with monthly meetings in the library, are you interested in seeing it come back?

Drop us a line with your ideas, or just let us know if you want to be part of the crew.
