ADAMS Mass. — Adams Free Library is hosting a free, literacy event for families that is multi-sensory and based on children's books on April 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
The event is presented by Emilee Reynolds, an Early Childhood Educator and owner of Miss Emilee ECE. Reynolds has more than 15 years of experience working in the field throughout all of Berkshire County and we are excited that she is returning to share her curriculum with the Adams community.
The program is for children ages 6 and under and their caregivers. It will include stations that engage different senses, coupled with connections to various children's books. The activities include a playdough station, music and sound station, and a tactile and touch station. A light table will also be utilized in one of the stations. The goal of the program is for the young participants to build academic skills through sensory play. Reynolds's program weaves academics and play together so all participants enjoy the learning activities.
This program is funded in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
Families with children ages six and under are invited to attend this multi-sensory literacy event on Thursday, April 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. No registration is required, and an adult must accompany participants. Library events are free and open to the public. Attendance at library programs constitutes consent to be photographed; photos may be used in print or electronic publicity for the Adams Free Library.

Friday Front Porch Feature: A Charming Home in Adams
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Are you looking for a charming and inviting home? Then this is the one for you.
Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are showcasing 125 Friend St.
This newly renovated 1960 home has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It is 1,239 square feet on a 1 1/2 acre lot.
The house includes a basement level two-car garage, an eat-in kitchen and a sunroom perfect for all seasons. The house recently got new paint, new carpets, and a new 200-amp electrical service.
It is on the market for $349,000.
We spoke with Stephanie Rapisarda from William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, which holds the listing.
What do you think makes this house stand out in the current market?
It offers something difficult to find: a home that has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over six decades and is now being offered for the first time. Combined with its spacious 1.49 acre lot, beautifully renovated bathroom, and versatile four-season sunroom, this home presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking both comfort and long-term value.
Do you know any unique stories about this home or its history?
Oh so many! My grandfather built the home. He and my grandmother raised their family there and when their kids had children, it remained a special haven for our entire family. My grandfather started his company CTC Inc. in the basement of the home, and his son still owns and operates the business today, now on a much larger scale.
The home's foundation is truly one of love. The pride of ownership is evident throughout the home, from its careful maintenance to the thoughtful updates that have preserved its character while enhancing everyday living.
How would you describe the feel or atmosphere of this home?
Warm, welcoming, and easy to live in. The home has a comfortable Berkshire feel, with bright living spaces, a practical layout, and a peaceful setting that makes it easy to relax and unwind. The four-season sunroom, back porch and beautiful yard create a wonderful connection to the outdoors throughout the year while still being right in town.
