The Gafney Calendar

Teens can stop by any time between 3-7:00pm and help celebrate World Environment Day by planting a flower. Take it home and watch it grow!

The Gafney Library was awarded a grant from the Children’s Literacy Foundation.

With this grant we have a new 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program!

We will be holding a kickoff event!

Sign-Up Event: Saturday, June 7^th, 10am-1pm

Let’s Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!

Are you ready for a reading adventure? Snuggle up, grab your favorite stories (yes, re-reading that book a million times totally counts!), and let’s see if you can read 1,000 books before your little one heads off to kindergarten.

Along the way, you’ll earn stickers, surprises, and super-fun prizes—just for sharing stories together!

Come on into the library, sign up, and get started.

Your next great story is waiting!

The Wakefield-Brookfield Historical Society will be conducting their monthly meeting in the Gafney Library's Community Room throughout the summer months. This month's presentation is “Captain Lovewell and Lovell Lake," with Bob Spellman.

Your Insight Matters!

The Gafney Library is gathering community input to improve accessibility for everyone—especially individuals with disabilities (both visible and invisible), neurodivergent experiences, and older adults.

• Have you faced any barriers when using the library?
• Do you have ideas to help us reduce barriers?
• Have you or a loved one experienced any challenges while using the library?
• Do you have ideas about how we can better support accessibility and create welcoming spaces for all?

Your voice MATTERS- help us make the library better for everyone.

*We value your voice. Please reach out, attend the upcoming discussion, or send us your thoughts via email*
