SUMMARY:Know Your Rights with Berkshire Immigrant Center
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will provide practical information to empower both immigrants and allies.  A caseworker from Berkshire Immigrant Center (BIC) will explain the key legal rights of anyone interacting with immigration enforcement agents\, including the role of warrants and how to interpret them.  They also will clarify the legal boundaries around bystander support and what to do if someone is detained.  Attendees will leave with a better understanding of recent changes to immigration enforcement practices and concrete steps that families can take to prepare for emergencies.  Please bring your questions\, as there will be time for Q&A after the presentation. \nBerkshire Immigrant Center’s mission is to advocate for the rights of all immigrants by helping them navigate the complex U.S. immigration system with affordable legal services\, local resources\, and education. BIC serves over 800 clients annually with three caseworkers. We envision a future where everyone in the Berkshires can enjoy full and equitable access to opportunities\, regardless of where they were born. BIC works to create that future by helping immigrants change or maintain their immigration status; supporting immigrants in building sustainable futures; and helping the Berkshire community grow more welcoming and inclusive for immigrants.

SUMMARY:Baby Circle & Supply Swap
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special Baby Circle event to pass along gently used baby supplies* to new and expecting Lenox Library parents. \nWe will host a supply swap for gently used baby supplies (carriers\, monitors\, activity mats\, etc.) to give to Baby Circle attendees and expecting parents from the Berkshire community. All items will be put out for new and expecting parents to take from during Baby Circle on March 18\, 2026. \nCommunity members (especially Baby Circle alumni!) may participate by dropping off any baby supplies for the event between March 3-18. We also welcome expecting families to come meet Baby Circle leaders Sara and Steph and participate\, too! We hope to start a tradition of passing along items that our Baby Circle parents love but no longer need to families who are in the thick of new parenthood. \nBaby Circle is a weekly gathering for new parents with babies aged 0-15 months. We sing songs\, do early literacy activities\, and provide support to new families in Lenox and surrounding communities. \nAbout our Baby Circle leaders: Youth Assistant Sara is a pediatric development specialist and Library Assistant Steph is a birth and post-partum doula. \n*No clothing or large furniture items\, please.  Call the Library at 413-637-0197 with any questions about what items are being accepted.
