Easthampton City Council Schedules Three Special Meetings in One Week

The Easthampton City Council has back-to-back special meetings on the calendar this week, and the library is rolling out summer tech programming — but official sources were quiet over the past 24 hours, leaving a light news day in the City of Easthampton.

TOWN HALL

The town's official news feed produced no new items in the coverage window. The town homepage does, however, flag several upcoming meetings worth noting: the City Council has a special meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, followed by another on Thursday, June 25 — and then a third special meeting on June 26, the same evening the Board of Registrars of Voters convenes and the Affordable & Fair Housing Partnership meets. The concentration of special sessions in a single week is unusual and may signal time-sensitive business before the council, though no agenda details were published in the coverage window. Residents can check the full calendar at easthamptonma.gov for agendas as they post.

Water use restrictions remain in effect, per a standing notice posted April 30. The Fire Department blood drive posted June 15 is also still listed as current.

COMMUNITY & ARTS

The Easthampton Public Library has two upcoming tech-help events this week. On Wednesday, June 24, the library hosts its regular Technology Help drop-in session — a free opportunity for residents to get one-on-one assistance with devices and digital questions. Then on Thursday, June 26, the library's GoDigital Class takes on the topic of privacy and security on the iPhone, a timely subject as phone-based scams continue to target older adults. A second Technology Help session is scheduled for July 1. All events are at the library; check the town calendar at easthamptonma.gov for times.
