Throughout February, the APL wants to hear YOUR stories of how the library has helped you. Did we provide a thought-provoking program? Did we help you research local history or genealogy? Do we create fun, accessible book displays? Whatever the reason, we want you to share it with us. We have a fancy Valentine’s box at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor where you can submit your story, or you can share it online at LoveMassLibraries.com.

As part of this year’s theme of Empowered by Libraries, stories will be shared with state representatives and legislators to help bring attention to the FY2026 Legislative Agenda supporting libraries across the Commonwealth during this budget season. APL staff have appreciated all submissions thus far–and welcomes many more!
