Welcome to Our Library
Buckland Public Library serves the residents of Buckland, a rural town nestled in the hills of western Massachusetts and connected to the village of Shelburne Falls. Though our town is small, our resources are not! As a proud member of the CWMARS library consortium, we connect our patrons not only to our own shelves but to millions of items at libraries throughout central and western Massachusetts.
Whether you’re stopping by for the first time or returning for your next great read, we invite you to explore, connect, and make the Buckland Public Library your own.
We’re so glad you’re here!
