Announcements to the community
Meet the challenge!
A donor has presented the Marstons Mills community with another challenge. He will match up to $10,000 that is donated to the Library between now and June 30. Please consider making a larger gift than you ordinarily would - and click the Subscribe! button at the top right of this page to do so. Thank you so much in advance!
Learn about MM history
With the cooperation of the Marstons Mills Historical Society, historian Dr. James Gould and longtime Marstons Mills resident Vivian Cushing have written a book describing and depicting the history of Marstons Mills. A wonderful overview of our village, the book contains 200 photographs of scenes in and around Marstons Mills from the past.
Copies are available at the Library for $24; there are still some signed copies, as well!
