Healthy snacks offered on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons
The Montague Rotary Library has added a community fridge to go along with its community cupboard.
The fridge is open on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. It is stocked with food such as bananas and other fresh fruit, yogurt, apple sauce, juice, bagels and cream cheese.
Erin Lundrigan, a library branch technician, expects the fridge will be used by people in the library and by those in the community who need a nutritious snack.
"We just thought that there might be a need for some healthy quick snacks on the go," she said. "It's not a meal but it is something that you can grab and go."
The library also has a community cupboard for supplies such as period products, toothpaste and toothbrushes. The cupboard has been in place since last summer.
Donations help keep the cupboard and the fridge stocked.
