We are currently in the process of digitizing the historic artifacts and family genealogies within the Sherman Room. During this time, we are unable to assist with walk-in research requests. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Sherman Room is our multipurpose historical room at the library. It serves as a historical room for the town of Brimfield, a meeting room for local groups and clubs, a space for library events, and also provides extra seating for library patrons looking for a quiet place to read and study.
If you would like to look through the materials in the Sherman Room or have a particular question or subject regarding town history you are interested in, please contact us. While we will do our best to help anyone who walks in with a question related to the Sherman Room materials and town history, it would be best to contact us in advance so we will have time to look into your request.
A number of historical documents and books from the Sherman Room have been digitized! To access these, please visit the Digital Commonwealth catalog.
The Sherman Room is staffed on Monday mornings from 9am-1pm, Wednesday afternoons from 12pm – 3:30pm, and occasional Saturday mornings 9:00am – 1pm. We highly recommend making an appointment so that we may plan for your visit. If these hours do not work for you, please let us know and we will try to accommodate your schedule.
If you are interested in using the Sherman Room for meetings, clubs, tutoring, etc, please ask at the library, call us at 413-245-3518, or e-mail us at library@brimfieldma.org, since space and time is limited and it must be reserved.
