We have started some new programs - check them out:
Book Talk with Emma - every five or six weeks on Saturday from Noon to 1pm in the library.
These are informal discussions of specific book genres. A very brief description of the genre is given, with examples of books that fall into that category. Participants share books they have read or would like to read, recommendations are made, people check out books or recommend book acquisitions based on discussion. Coffee, tea, water and a sweet snack is provided, and there is no charge for participation. Newcomers are always welcome.
The first Book Talk was on April 9th and focused on Historical Fiction. The next meeting will be sometime in late June or July. Stay tuned . . .

Virtual Storytime with Kim Dawes
Mrs. Dawes delightfully reads two children's picture books aloud, followed by a demonstration of a related, simple craft. The stories are themed around upcoming holidays or seasonal events and changes. Please bring your children to the library at any time during library open hours if you are interested in participating in this program. It lasts about 30 minutes and there is no charge.

If you are interested in hosting an event and/or have creative, inspiring ideas, please contact Mary at the library.
