Check it out! Congratulations, Kristi!💜

Do you have a MADL yard sign to show your support of Montague branch? Last Friday our new director Betty Adams was on hand to drop off a very cool MADL "swag" bag to a local resident with one of our signs. Maybe it'll be you in the future? Ask staff for a yard sign on your next visit!
