Hi everyone,
Memorial Day is a week away, and our library has new and old stories of sacrifice and service to help us remember. Later this week, we will make a display featuring some of them. The library will be closed next Monday to observe Memorial Day.
Here’s what’s happening this week at your library:
Mobile Library to Remick Acres, Mon 5/20, 2:00 PM
Poetry Hour, Mon 5/20, 5:00 PM
Outdoor nature-based storytime, Tues 5/20, 10:30 AM
Baby & toddler time, Tues 5/20, 3:00 PM
“Bag It: Is Your Life Too Plastic?” Wed 5/22 at 6:00 PM. Tamworth Recycling Project hosts a plastic-free potluck followed at 6:30 by a showing of the film, “Bag It!” This 14 year-old documentary exposing the effects of our society’s prolific use and disposal of plastic products still holds up today. We’ll take some time to talk about why after the film. The film is told through the eyes of “everyman” Jeb Berrier, a familiar face to many in Tamworth as the MC of the Silas Berrier Memorial Seek the Joy Comedy Nights in 2022 and 2023. He is the brother of Tamworth resident, Amy Berrier. Prior to the film, Green Mountain Conservation Group staff will showcase their microplastic research and provide information on our Less Plastic Initiative. They will bring microplastic samples to view, too. If you’re coming to the potluck, bring a dish to share and your own place setting.
Community Dancing for Young Children, Sat 5/25, 10:30-11:45 AM. Welcoming children (ages 3+) with their caregivers to join hands, dance to live music and sing! No prior experience needed. All dances are taught and called. Jacqueline Laufman, caller & fiddler, with music by the Celtic Joy Trad Dance Band. This final dance in the series is funded by the Yeoman’s Fund for the Arts.
Coming up next week: A discussion of the book West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge on Tuesday 5/28 at 6:30 on Zoom. Borrow a copy and plan to join us.
