A New Look at the Library

The David M. Hunt Library has a new sign at the corner of Main Street and Beebe Hill Road. In this photo by Mary Elling, Friends of the Library president, Laura Munson, stands by the new sign, which is a gift from the Friends Association. Karl Munson and Kneeland deserves thanks for digging, sawing, leveling, cementing, and "planting" the sign for the ages.

Words & Music Library Benefit at Music Mountain

Like the Memorial Day parade and 8th grade graduation, the Words & Music benefit for the Hunt Library that is held at Music Mountain each fall embodies the essence and goodness of small-town life. It's always a community-minded evening of unparalleled joy.

Hunt Library Auction: Saturday, Sept 20

Every year for one night only, Falls Village becomes a shopping mecca, when the David M Hunt Library holds it annual cocktail party and silent and live auctions. There are more than a hundred great items for sale, and you can do some early holiday shopping or treat yourself to an extravagance without guilt since every penny raised goes to help operate the library, which is brilliantly (and frugallly) run by Cookie Kubarek and Erica Joncyk .
