Recent Stamp Dedication in the Children's Room

On July 24, 2024 The Hubbardston Public LIbrary and the United States Postal Service had a stamp dedication ceremony at the beginning of Storytime!  Hubbardston Postmaster Trisha Dursa dedicated the stamp of Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" to the Hubbardston Children's Reading Room.  This is a poignant gift, since the Hubbardston Post Office used to be in the Children's Room until the 1960's. Library Director Chris Barbera accepted the stamp and had it placed so everyone can see it as they enter the room.  Afterwards, Miss Tricia read "the Giving Tree" at Storytime!  We would like to thank Postmaster Dursa for the dedication.
