| The David & Joyce Milne Public Library is developing a new strategic plan for the next five years (2027 - 2032), and we want to hear from you!
Our community survey is now open, and we encourage everyone to participate. Your feedback will help guide the library's priorities, services, programs, collections, and spaces for years to come. Whether you use the library every week, visit occasionally, or haven't stopped by in a while, your perspective is valuable.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your thoughts about the future of the library. |

Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash at the Library! 🎶 |
Come on over for a live concert Saturday, July 25th at 1:00 p.m.
Longtime musician/author Matt York performs songs and tells stories about these two musical icons and the important role their friendship played in the trajectory of folk and country music, creating a new lane of music that we now think of as Americana music, that merged two very different audiences.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire.
