Empowered by Libraries
You are cordially invited to a Legislative Breakfast at Whitinsville Social Library on Friday January 16, 2026 with speakers starting at 8 AM.
Sen. Fattman will be present as well as local library directors, library trustees, local legislators, town administrators, and more public library stakeholders. Less than 1% of the state’s budget funds its amazing public libraries. This will be a bipartisan meeting to discuss the state’s support and how that funding helps the libraries and communities in the Blackstone Valley.

Breakfast and coffee starts at 7:30 AM
Speakers start at 8:00 AM
Following the breakfast, all participants are welcome to join Library Director Rebecca Sasseville on a tour of the Library and the plans for the library’s expansion and renovation.
Please RSVP.
