Over the years, the small community library in Whately has been able to refresh its collection without spending any money because of the regional library system's bookmobile service. For about six decades, bookmobile trucks have transported books and other items to libraries all over western Massachusetts. The libraries could keep the rotating collections for about 11 weeks. But, the small library will have to go without this service at the beginning of next year as the Western Massachusetts Regional Library System has decided to stop the bookmobile service. The last day will be Dec. 31.
