The Little Library That Could

Share

Dick looks into the debate that bubbled up about a small library in Shutesbury, Mass. While some residents want a new one and are willing to pay with new taxes, others say no. It is the talk of the town and no end is in sight yet. Dick speaks with Bob Mahler, principal of Shutesbury Elementary School. [Watch a viral video about the library here.]
