Construction Diaries, Continued

Saturday, March 14, 2026

We’re so grateful for our dedicated library staff, who worked for weeks to pack up the Jones collection and transition to our temporary location at 101 University Drive. We are also deeply appreciative of our supporters, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC), the town of Amherst, and so many other institutions and individuals making this historic project possible and creating spaces where staff and patrons can thrive. And thank you to the Fontaine Bros for providing access to these spaces during this busy construction period!

YOU can join us today, too, by supporting the Capital Campaign!
