Charming Doesn’t Translate into Practical for Library

The Hull Public Library, while housed in a charming historic house in Massachussets, is way behind the times in terms of being able to serve the community in which it is situated.

the library is perched on a small hill overlooking the water. Trees and grass surround the building, which has a graceful front porch, and a cozy fireplace inside.

Children’s services librarian Anne Masland said, ”When we come in the morning, we turn on the lights at the fuse box.”

As a result, the library is hoping to build a new facility. More from the Boston Globe.
