The Hopkinton Public Library announced that librarian Kristen Webb passed away “unexpectedly, of sudden, natural causes” Wednesday.

According to a post on the library’s website: “Kristen has worked with us at the Hopkinton Library since 2017 and was a hardworking, integral member of our staff and the Town. She was a very affable person who loved helping families in the Children’s Room and always enjoyed telling us about what was going on in her life, particularly with her two young granddaughters. Kristen will be greatly missed by us all.”
