Funding for these databases is provided by Hanover Public Schools, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) and the Massachusetts Library System (MLS). Beginning July 1, 2025, Massachusetts residents will experience significant reductions in access to statewide research databases due to the elimination of federal funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), following Executive Order 14238. While we are striving to preserve key services, many valuable resources will no longer be available.
