At the end of March, a mother and her 19-month-old son walked into HAC’s office at 460 Main Street. Even before they reached the receptionist’s desk, the pair found themselves engrossed in a stack of books in HAC’s free library that greets visitors in the foyer.
With her child by her side, the mom grabbed five books – two featuring SpongeBob, one of Curious George, another of My Little Pony and the last titled “The Little Penguin” – that she would later bring home for her son and two other children to devour.
It was a simple scene that showed how popular HAC’s library, created by CEO Rick Presbrey in the late 90’s, has become. “It has been such a hit which is why we are often out of books,” said office manager Lynne Perry. “We can’t keep books on the shelves so we’re always in need of books for children and adults.”
Those wanting to make a donation to HAC’s free library can do so by dropping off used books at our main office at 460 West Main Street in Hyannis, Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 4:30 pm. While any book donations are welcome, HAC is currently in need of those geared towards adults.
