Librarian's Corner


A resounding Thank You! to all of the sponsors, volunteers, and participants who helped us celebrate Summer Reading 2026: Stars, Stripes, & Stories. Our jam-packed summer featured history, magic, animals, music, stories, science, crafts – and books. Our mighty readers rose to the challenge, borrowing a record-breaking 2447 children’s books during July!

There’s still plenty to enjoy as summer winds down. Join Miss Carissa for Giggles & Wiggles on August 11 and 25 or turn a discarded book into a reading mascot at our Book Chicken Craft program. Drop in to our Chess Club on Monday evenings and enjoy a friendly game while you sharpen your skills. Share your gardening questions, successes, and samples at Let’s Talk Gardening or bring your current project to work on at our Craft & Chat group.

Please note the Library will be CLOSED the week of August 17 – 22 while our restrooms are renovated. Don’t worry that you’ll run out of books to read: you an stock up at our Library Friends’ Summer Book Sale on Saturday, August 15.

What Are We Reading This Month?

Book Discussion Thursday, October 15th @ 2 pm


The Woman in the Library
by Sulari Gentill

Book Cover

The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman’s terrified scream. Security guards take charge. Four strangers, who’d happened to sit at the same table begin to talk. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer.

Book Discussion - Monday, October 19th @ 6 pm


Be Ready When the Luck Happens
by Ina Garten

Book Cover

Ina's gift is to make everything look easy, yet all her accomplishments have been the result of hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail. In her unmistakable voice, she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges, adventures and unexpected career twists.
