Since its opening in 1912, the Central Library, a “center of intellectual life,” has given entrance to the State Street corridor. Solidly built of white Vermont marble with immense rooms and corridors, this library has a history of serving working people, at one time open 365 days per year! More than a collection of books and materials, it is an impressive yet inviting community-gathering space. T

At the intersection of Amity and Pleasant Streets, just off the town common, you'll find the 100 year old Jones Library, the Crown Jewel of the Town of Amherst, Mass. Public Library System. Dignified, but relaxed. Stately, but not stuffy. With a collection of books, visuals, art, and audio, this town library rivals the massive collections at the neighboring colleges. Librarians are knowledgeable about the Jones' collection, and, if the item you're seeking isn't on premises, they know how to retrieve it from one of their two satellite libraries or from other resources in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. But, the Jones is more than merely a place where books live. It is a community center for the town, the home to several "glad to have you as a member" book clubs, and a beautifully designed, easily accessible location where visitors of every age will find what they didn't know they needed. Or wanted. Whenever I'm in Amherst, I try to make sure that my busy schedule leaves an hour or so open to drop by the Jones Library. I'm always delighted with the visit, and maybe I've become just a little wiser,

The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library & Museum was established in 1920, when Massachusetts Governor and Vice-President Elect Calvin Coolidge began giving documents and memorabilia to Forbes Library, the public library for the city of Northampton, Massachusetts. During his Presidency and upon leaving the White House, additional materials were added including the Howard Chandler Christy portraits of Calvin Coolidge and his wife, Grace, and the infamous electric exercise horse. In 1956, acting upon the request of Grace Coolidge and Trustees of Forbes Library, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts granted funds to establish a “Calvin Coolidge Memorial Room” as a separate entity within the Forbes Library. Today, the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library & Museum at Forbes Library is the largest existing source of primary material on Calvin Coolidge and the only public library in the United States to hold a presidential collection.
Calvin Coolidge's professional career was in Northampton and it is just perfect and fitting that modest Cal has his library inside a municipal library. Forbes library in downtown Northampton has a 2nd floor room[s] filled w treasures from his career. You have to go and see this.

We found this venue because of the great musicians who performed here on Ash Wednesday. I will just briefly say that both Marcia Ball and Sonny Landreth put on great shows. But we could not get a lot of information about the venue. Rumors were that there was not seating for everyone. While there is no reserved seating, there were enough seats for everyone, so you don't have to do what we did: arrive as soon as the doors open. The food offered inside, a few choices of tacos, was excellent, but very limited. There is another restaurant as part of the complex, next door, that looks very good. If you have time, you can eat dinner there before the show. The place is pretty small: you can see and hear from anywhere on the performance floor. Beer and wine served. They had hurricanes on the night we were there in honor of the New Orleans musicians who were performing
