The Clapp Memorial Library is a welcoming and lively center for lifelong learning, personal enrichment
and community interaction. It is dedicated to serving greater Belchertown as a vital cultural resource and
community center, and recognizes its role to promote the value of reading and self expression to local youth.
The Library meets community needs as they evolve over time and connects its users to ideas, technologies,
experiences, and to others in the community and the world at large.
