The Sierra Vista Commons Project (the “Project”) is located at 93-97 Northampton Street, Easthampton and is a redevelopment project for a mixed-used residential and commercial center. The Project is preparing to submit documents to the State for review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). Before submitting these documents, we would like to gather public input and comments on the Project as part of the MEPA Public Involvement Protocol for Environmental Justice Populations. A Project representative will be at the library to answer questions and to hear your input.

This program is not affiliated directly with the library. Please contact Adrienne Dunk at adrienne.dunk@gza.com with any questions.

Join us for a special edition of our weekly book celebration, focused on picture books from Japan and restoring paper lanterns which will be then floated on Nashawannuck Pond on the evening of August 9th in commemoration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This program is geared towards elementary school ages. Registration is encouraged; sign up at the library in person or by calling us at 413-527-1031 or emailing us at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.

Join children and families who have decorated lanterns and walk with them and the nuns and monks from the NE Peace Pagoda to Nashawannuck Pond where the lanterns will be drawn out across the pond in the traditional ceremony. We will gather at the library at 5:30, where there will be ice cream for children, and then walk together to the pond for the lantern launch which will start at 6pm.

It’s a half-day for the Easthampton Public Schools, come to the library and spend time making shadow boxes of the natural world. Emily will start the program with a story and then Easthampton Public Health Nurse, Chris Southworth, will lead us in an absorbing and creative activity.
