A Monthly Book Discussion Group is Starting Up!

 

Everyone is welcome!  For our first meeting on Wednesday, September 22nd at 7 PM, we'll be reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.  The Boston Globe calls this book "Powerfully alive, unfolding like a waking dream, haunting, magical, and impossible to forget."  Centering around the lives of women in 19th century China, there should be lots to talk about with Snow Flower and the Secret Fan!  

 

More book discussions to come on October 27th, November 17th and into 2011.  Always on Wednesdays at 7PM.  Please join us for any and all Book Discussions at the library!

  

Children's Story Hour - Volunteers Needed!

 

We need volunteers to help with the Children's Story Hour this Fall.  Please stop by the library or call us at 860-974-0376 if you can help out!

 

Children's Summer Reading Program!

 

Keep track of your reading in your "Make a Splash - Read!" papers.  If you are participating in the  Governor's Summer Reading Challenge, the same books can also count for our library program!

 

There are prizes here for you anytime you come to the library for more books.  When you have logged 30 picture books or 10 chapter books, you've earned a coupon for a *free ice cream* from Sweet Evalina's Stand!

The re-construction of the John F.

Operation Paperback!

 

We are collecting slightly used paperbacks to ship to our troops serving overseas.  The response so far this year has been great and we urge everyone to keep donating their paperbacks for this great cause!  Please click here for further information.
