Happy New Year to our patrons!
We kick off January with a cozy and colorful display of quilts from the Goshen Star Quilters, January 8 – February 26. You can view the show in our online gallery, or visit the Library for a close-up look at the exquisite work that goes into these beautiful works of fabric art.
Winter Storytimes begin later this month, and we are excited to try a new model for our Storytime programing. Pick up a weekly Take Home kit with everything you need for Storytime including books, activities, songs and crafts. Then join Miss Amanda on Zoom each Tuesday morning for a live, interactive Storytime. Can’t make Tuesday mornings? View a recording of the Storytime on your own schedule. We hope to resume in person Storytimes in the spring.
Are you interested in exploring your ancestry? Get help from an expert: Harwinton Town Historian Susan Fenn McClen will visit the Library each month to assist patrons one-on-one. Whether you are just getting started or have specific questions from your research, Sue can help. Space is limited – register for your session.
Is mindfulness one of your New Year’s resolutions? New members are always welcome at our Wednesday afternoon Mindful Meditation group.
Staff Pic of the Month
The Six of Crows
by Leigh Bardugo
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
It is a heist, a fantasy, and a mystery. Bardugo keeps enough hidden that her reveals are satisfying to read. Bardugo’s writing is literary and poetic as well as action packed. She draws images with her words that make the city of Ketterdam feel real and just around the corner. "When the end of the novel came, I found myself wishing for more. This is easily one of the best books I have ever read." Harwinton Library Staff Member
Book Discussion - Monday, February 28th @ 6 pm

by Alex Michaelides
