Holland, Massachusetts
Community Organizations
Holland is a small town, and its community life runs through a handful of institutions that any resident can use or help run: the public library, the community center, and the volunteer committees that keep the recreation fields and trails open. For services a town this size cannot provide alone, residents draw on organizations across the Quaboag Hills region.

Keeping Up with the Town
Holland does not have a daily newspaper of its own. Two things fill that gap for residents who want to follow what the boards are doing.
- The Holland Blog at 01521.com is an independent local site that follows town politics, elections, and the Select Board.
- The town website at town.holland.ma.us posts every board’s agendas and minutes, so you can read what was decided even if you could not be in the room.
