Public Libraries are tremendous assets to a community. If anyone wants to talk about the PAYT program while we are there, seek me out.

State funding helps citizens from the small towns as well as the large cities have access to the collections of libraries across the state, and provides 24-hr. access to reference databases and electronic copies of newspaper and magazines articles online. Northborough's beautiful, and very well-used new library, was funded in part by a grant through the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, a state agency. This is a great opportunity for people who use their library, whether it be for borrowing printed books or audiobooks, using public computers or our wireless Internet access, meeting in one of the meeting rooms, attending programs, or finding a spot to get some work done -- to thank legislators for their continued support.
