Librarian's Corner
Summer is winding down and we want to say a big THANK YOU to all of the sponsors, donors, and volunteers who helped to make Summer Reading 2024 such a success! It’s been wonderful meeting new friends (we registered 81 new resident patrons this summer!), learning new skills (like fencing, calligraphy and playing the ukulele!) and watching books fly off the shelves (almost 7,000 of them!) Thank You for helping us to make our Library a summer destination for free fun, learning and entertainment. We couldn’t have done it without your support.
As we look ahead to fall there’s plenty of programs, events and new releases on the calendar to anticipate. Storytimes resume, with preschool Storytime on Tuesdays & Thursdays and Homeschool Storytimes every other Wednesday. Our Evening and Afternoon Book Discussion groups meet monthly for lively discussion, and our weekly Mindful Meditation group can help you manage the stress of the return to school and busy schedules.
We’ve got lots of special guest and hands-on fun planned. Try your hand at Jewelry Making, find out What’s Up With Fall? from the Roaring Brook Nature Center, and learn how to identify birds from the Litchfield Hills Audubon Society. Teens are invited to a Pizza and Post-It Note Art night and an Oreo & Jelly Bean Taste Testing! Kids can get crafty at our Bat Program, learn about the importance of tooth brushing at our Dentist Storytime, and get excited for Halloween at Goblins & Giggles!
The Library is again open until 3 pm on Saturdays. Stop in between 10 and 2 on September 21 for our Supersized Fall Book Sale!

The Witch Elm
by Tana French
Toby is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life. Struggling to recover from his injuries, he takes refuge at his family’s ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden. Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed.

The Kitchen Front
by Jennifer Ryan
Two years into World War II, Britain is feeling her losses: The Nazis have won battles, the Blitz has destroyed cities, and U-boats have cut off the supply of food. In an effort to help housewives with food rationing, a BBC radio program called The Kitchen Front is holding a cooking contest–and the grand prize is a job as the program’s first-ever female co-host. Four women compete.
