In these tough economic times, we hope our families will not need these resources. But there are a number of agencies in Berkshire County that watch over the welfare of our families. Please use your library as a research resource in a time of need. We have free public computers and loads of print resources at your disposal. We also have outstanding reference services in the adult and children's department. In accordance with the American Library Association's Bill of Rights any materials you need are strictly confidential and you privacy is our highest priority.

We have not listed our area churches synagogues, or schools but remind you that these organizations are usually well equipped to handle emergencies of all kinds.
