Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners honors Wellesley’s Mary Ann Cluggish
Congrats to Wellesley’s Mary Ann Cluggish, this year’s recipient of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners’ Elizabeth P. Sohier Award.
A ceremony honoring Clugglish and others was held on Thursday, Nov. 6 at the State House.
The award recognizes a past commissioner for their outstanding efforts to ensure that all residents have equal and free access to resources through the state’s public libraries.
Cluggish served as a commissioner for 12 years, and was honored a couple of years back upon departing the board.
Cluggish’s volunteer work for the state was built on a foundation of local library support. She served 12 years as a Library Trustee in Wellesley and helped gain Town Meeting support for the library that opened in 2003.
