This month, the Trustees of the Wareham Free Library are taking part in the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) “Love Letters for the Library” campaign. Throughout the month of February, library users are encouraged to go to www.lovemasslibraries.com and upload their videos, pictures and/or stories explaining why they love their local library. This annual campaign gives state and local officials an opportunity to hear from patrons why the library is important to them. Anyone wishing to take part can use of the templates provided by the MBLC or create a story of their own.  

“Here in Massachusetts, we LOVE our Libraries,” wrote the state board. “Massachusetts Libraries play a vital role in ensuring all residents have equal access to information. Libraries are meeting places, community centers, and resources for everyone. During our busy everyday lives, we don’t always get a chance to let our libraries know how much we care about them. And we rarely take the time to share that with our state legislators.”

The MBLC will gather all the entries and share them with state and local officials. To share a love letter, go to www.lovemasslibraries.com.
