Summer Reading Isn't Just for Kids!
Join the Best Book Challenge
2018 is almost half over and so the Best Books of 2018 (so far) lists are beginning to appear. We've got sixteen of those titles displayed --nine fiction, seven nonfiction--and now we challenge you to read at least one of them and join us at 6:30 Monday evening, July 30, to share thoughts and impressions.
Here's our Best Books (so far) list .
Where Will the New Library Be?
A new sign on Town Hall Road reveals all!
The new library will be located in the wooded area between the current library
and Town Hall. But where exactly? It will be set back from this sign and away from the road. Parking will be in an enlarged Town Hall lot. We will update you regularly as we go through the summer, preparing, we hope, for groundbreaking this fall.
