Heginbotham Library director Kathy Bornhoft is pictured outside the northeast corner of the library, which houses a walled-off secret room. She is standing in a depression that may have been caused by the tunnel that runs from the room to the carriage house on the library grounds. In a building assessment conducted by the State Historical Fund last December, the tunnel was snaked and was discovered to be open except at the carriage house end. — The Holyoke Enterprise
