By the mid-1960s its collection had grown to about 8,000 volumes and was circulating about 500 of those each week. In the early 1970s it was increasingly obvious that more space was needed for library service in Gardner. Read on »

Petitioning Zone

click to enlarge petioning zone diagramPetitioners and protestors must stay inside the petitioning zone and must not interfere with patrons entering the building. This zone ensures patron safety and prevents sidewalk traffic congestion. The selected placement of the zone maximizes exposure of petitioners to patrons. Petitioners or protesters who cannot abide by these rules will be asked to leave the premises. We appreciate your cooperation. The designated petitioning zone is shaded in green in the diagram to the left. Please notice this zone is located at the northwest corner of the building between the parking lot and the entrance.
