THE GANNETT FOUNDATION/WGRZ-TV Stop in and see what's new: Library Trivia! The Boston Public Library became one of the first, if not the first library, of significant size to open its doors to the public in 1895. Any resident of the state of Massachusetts may borrow materials or conduct research at this library. This is inscribed on the wall of the main branch of the BPL, "The Commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty."

CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats to Christopher Herbeck, winner of the 2012 NFL Draft Predictions contest sponsored by Brighton Place. Chris correctly guessed at 3 of the players drafted by the Buffalo Bills -- Stephon Gilmore, Cordy Glenn and Zebrie Sanders. He wins a Sunday brunch for 2 at Banchetti's restaurant in Amherst. Predicting the Bills' draft decisions is not easy. Only 5 of the 19 people who entered the contest had at least one correct prediction...
Great job Chris! GO BILLS!
