Farewell
Martha

After two decades of service at the Amherst Town Library, Martha Bosco has announced her retirement.

goodbye

Martha started working at the library in September of 1984 as a Clerk-Typist. More than 25 years later, as the library's sole Technical Services Assistant, Martha has cataloged and processed almost all of the library's circulating materials.

Martha worked closely with library staff and volunteers and will be missed by all. We wish her the best.
