CMH's 2nd Annual Summer Book Fair!

We have collected over 4000 new and gently used books for all ages, generously donated by our community! Visit us Friday (7/26), Saturday (7/27), and Sunday (7/28) from 10AM-4PM and pick out books that speak to you! Holyoke qualifies as a book desert, and we here at the Museum feel impassioned to try and meet the needs of our community. CMH aims to be an oasis of resources for all of the families and children who come through our doors, and we invite you to spend a few hours experiencing the joy of discovering a new story to lift your imaginations and be inspired!
