Let the library light your way in 2021
Woburn Public Library Director Bonnie Roalsen offers the following New Year s message to Woburn residents:
As we start the New Year, we want to wish all of our patrons a healthy and safe 2021. There is reason for hope. The vaccines are on their way. The days are getting longer as the earth makes its journey around the sun. And the Woburn Public Library is open!
