Libraries in the Berkshires are a great source of free family fun in the region. From Virtual Storytimes, StoryWalks®, Craft Kits, and Museum Passes, local libraries are working hard to offer more than just what's on their shelves.
Berkshires Macaroni Kid has made it easy for you to find one nearest you with the comprehensive town by town list below. We have included links to their Facebook pages when applicable in order to keep you as up-to-date as possible.
