I believe that Lynette Bond is the right person to lead North Adams.
Lynette has spent many years volunteering with a wide range of people giving her valuable experience in working with a diverse group of people.
Diversity brings growth, new faces wider smiles. More people to meet, to care about and to support. More people to help support our residential taxes and small businesses. More people to open said small businesses.
Having a heart of diversity, a background in community service and a mind for grants and new ways of thinking, Lynette is the way to go.

North Adams Public Library Announces Updated Early Literacy Programs for Families
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Youth Services Department of the North Adams Public Library has announced updates to its weekly early literacy programs.
Beginning Tuesday, April 15, "Wigglers & Crawlers" will be held for families with children aged 0-2 years. This program will be led by Youth Services Library Assistant, Ms. Nancy, and will take place weekly at 10:30 AM.
According to the announcement, "The Wigglers & Crawlers program is ideal for babies and toddlers from birth to 2 years old. Caregivers are encouraged to bring a small blanket, a favorite toy, and be ready for a cozy, joyful experience. Participants can expect gentle stories & rhymes, songs & movement, interactive play and bonding time. This program is replacing the current Tuesday “Toddler Time” program."
On Wednesday, April 16, "Junior Story Time" will be held for families with children aged 2-5 years. This program will be led by Youth Services Librarian, Ms. Holly, and will also take place weekly at 10:30 AM.
The announcement states, "Junior Story Time is ideal for children 2 to 5 years old. Ms. Holly will read engaging stories to captivate their young imaginations, sing songs, play games and create a craft based on the day's story to take home. This program will intentionally build language development, fine and gross motor skills, encourage critical thinking, strengthen early literacy skills to build a solid foundation and promote healthy social skills while preparing children for the pre-k and kindergarten setting. This program is replacing the current Wednesday 'Story Time' program."
The library is reportedly collaborating with the North Adams Public School district to align program goals with the school curriculum for school readiness skills.
