We're on a mission to make the Hollis Center Public Library accessible to every member of our community. Help us replace our front entrance with a fully ADA-compliant ramp, deck, and vestibule — so everyone can walk through our doors. Every gift makes a difference!
After 5 beautiful years, our beloved Library Director is closing this chapter — and we want to celebrate him in style! Gus filled this space with warmth, creativity, carpentry magic, and music. He made our library feel like home, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Come give him the send-off he deserves! ❤️

Open to the whole community — stop by, grab a slice, and share your favorite Gus memory. We’ll see you there!
