Ventress Memorial Library is such a wonderful small library…read more The main room has a fish tank and a stool for kids to be able to use to take a closer look. The children's room is small but plentiful - toy area, books, scavenger hunt, take home crafts, friendly librarians. In front of the children's room there are "take what you need" supplies for parents/kids - completely free. I'm looking forward to joining some of the adult programs like guided tours of Marshfield because I am new to town, but for now my experience has been visiting the children's room with my 2 children.

The childrens library Lynne Campbell is an absolute flake. She wouldn't allow my disabled…read more3-year-old son into storytime, because she kicks all the parents out for "foster independence purposes", and I need to be present for medical reasons. This library is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Nobody should be leaving their 3-year-old, wheelchair or no wheelchair, in the hands of a flake like that. We did not get to experience the storytime and left. Shame on you, John Curtis library!

Hanover's local, residing next door to Town Hall and repping proudly 02339 in the Old Colony…read moreLibrary Network*. Newer and well-maintained building, exceedingly clean and (duh) whisper quiet for in-house study, leisurely reading, or pantomime practice. The layout caters to families, with a robust section for kiddos just past the entrance on the first floor. Got a grown-up item on hold? Sorry adults, you've gotta slog it up to the second to claim your piece. On the bright side, you're scaling a spiral staircase! Parking lot is massive, open evenings M-W and otherwise only closed on Sundays, and you best believe they have entertainment for the wee ones - from the infamous MamaSteph to jugglers, Lego Builders and story tellers! *Just like the Minuteman, the Old Colony Library Network will pull inventory from any of the 29 in-circle libraries dotting the South Shore and have it waiting for you at your local branch. MAGIC!

I was admitted to Operation ABLE's Work/Study program a few years ago in my late Sixties. I was not…read morelooking to get a Full Time Job but I did know I wanted to either learn some Technical Computer Skills which I never thought I would ever learn at my age so that I could do some part time work somewhere or a Home Business which definitely would need Excel, Word, and make Presentations. I also learned while there they had a 'Medical Terminology Course', which would feed my previous Army Medical background and learn more up to date terms for work at a Hospital or similar area. The many weeks I was there; with the absolutely patient, understanding, and very loving and talented 'Friends' made there; I have made my life ; because of Operation ABLE's Staff much more enjoyable; and made money I never dreamed of. Let us all support this program as long as God keeps us here. They will always be part of my Heart's 'Family' and I wish them well........ A Check is on the way. Well Deserved.
