Farideh:
It might simply be the library closest to where Millie and Brun were.
Perfectly Reasonable:

Yay! Thank you! (breaks out cookies and milk.)
Zebediah:
Maybe, although the main library at Smith is literally 300 yards away from Forbes Library (Northampton’s public library) so that wouldn’t be a huge factor. And if they were walking from Union Street they would get to Forbes Library first unless they took a roundabout route.
I don’t doubt that the college library would have a better selection of robotics books - they do have an engineering program, after all. But one of them would need to be associated with the college to use its library.
awkwardness:

Isn't she a scientist? She might be employed at the college as a researcher thus have rights to the library like other staff members...plus in Massachusetts the local colleges have reciprocal agreements with the local libraries regarding books so as long as she's a card-carrying member of the city's library she has a right to borrow from the school's library
--- Quote ---Weird and probably irrelevant historical fact: Northampton’s public library contains the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library.
--- End quote ---
It's not really a shock given that he lived there for 40 years, was the former mayor of the city, and was elected as state representative and senator multiple times before going statewide and later national...it's really no different than many other Presidents whose libraries are smaller and who weren't that historically impactful. Most of the libraries are located within the former homes or on the properties owned by the Presidents and it wasn't until the mid-20th century that the trend of big libraries for their documents got started...

Not in this thread. Because this entire topic started as a complete non sequitur and remains completely off-topic for this thread.
But in some other thread? Man, fill your boots. I'd be fascinated to hear your explanation. It would probably tell us a lot about you.
