Quality judgment

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good. Active Knox County library with a genuine community calendar — well-dated events across multiple program types. Particularly strong for: local horticulture/nature programs (Merryspring Nature Center partnership), arts exhibitions, family programming, and community events. Adds Rockport-specific coverage not always captured by primary news sources.
