The library has a board of three trustees. They were signed up for a roundtable for trustees, possible an orientation by MBLC.

Ludlow was the world's Number one producer of jute and there is even today a factory in India known as the Ludlow Jute Factory.

The building has experienced water intrusion (aka flooding) in the basement causing damage to books, many of which were valiantly saved due to the knowledge, experience and hard work of the staff, many of whom have been at the library for many years. Olivia loved this library as a child, got a job, then a library degree. Is learning archiving.
