About the Munson Memorial Library

Serving South Amherst since 1930, the Munson Memorial Library occupies one wing of the Munson Memorial Building. Upon a bequest from Mrs. Mary Munson, the building was dedicated as a memorial to Mr. Parnell Munson. The building is situated on land which was donated to the Town by Mr. William H. Atkins.

You can find much more information about the Munson Memorial Library on a web site created by Ms. Robinson's sixth grade class at Crocker Farm School of Amherst, Massachusetts.
