Flowers from Literary Gala
A capacity crowd filled Lomardo’s the other day and they weren’t there for the food. They were there to celebrate and show support for our library. It was the 10th year for the Literary Gala hosted by the Milton Library Foundation, and this year they took a bit of a risk.

Neighbors and family members were unable to reach them and the fire spread too quickly for firefighters to save them. (Read the full story here.)
