Amesbury: A bust of John Greenleaf Whittier was brought to his former home in Amesbury, now a museum dedicated to the Haverhill-born poet. Glad with the new acquisition, board members check the work, from left, Hope Cole, Paula McPartland, Cynthia Costello, Annie Tunstall and Amesbury Library director Patty DiTullio who brought the bust there moments earlier. The work had been in the library's basement for many years. Bryan Eaton/Staff Photo
