After 40 years of dedicated service to the Meekins Library, Children’s “Super Librarian” Rochelle Wildfong is retiring. Join us at Meekins for her “super sendoff”. There will be a little something for everyone, and the chance to wish Rochelle well.

Schedule:
10 ~ Storytelling with John Porcino
11 ~ Jazz with Paul Arslanian
12 ~ Words of Thanks and Presentation of Retirement Gift
1 ~ Music with James Kitchen and the Appliances

It will be full day of festivities as we remember with awe and celebrate all that Rochelle has given to the library, school and community over these years. Light refreshments will be available all day.

To contribute to a retirement gift for Rochelle, be in touch with Archivist Daria D’Arienzo at ddarienzo@me.com; or 413-268-7472 and leave a message. Stop by the Meekins to add your words to a special book of well wishes for Rochelle. Or create something on 8.5 x 11-inch paper to tuck into an album and bring to Daria. Far away? Send something virtually or by mail to Daria.

Rochelle has been an integral part of the Meekins Library story for nearly half a century. Come send our own “Super Librarian” off on her next adventure—June 20, 2026, here at the Meekins.
