LIBRARY NEWS April 2019
****************************************************************
We’re delighted to welcome DIANNE BARCLAY back to the Board of Trustees. After stepping away for a few years, she will rejoin us to staff, serve on a committee, and generally support the Library’s mission!
And we’re very pleased to have an increasing, and increasingly dedicated, group of volunteer staffers who answered my call in last month’s Times. In addition to those we thanked in the March issue, we’ll be welcoming Luisa (Spencer) and Chuck Finberg. It’s wonderful to have members of the Spencer family back in town!
MANY THANKS to GARY SALMON for his informative and illuminating presentation on forest fires in the Western U.S., including his own experience as a firefighter. We look forward to his next program, on the advance of the Emerald Ash Borer into Vermont. You can find Gary’s recent findings on the bulletin board in the Library lobby!
Coming Events:
Friday, April 26 @ 7:30 pm @ Shrewsbury Town Hall: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ROUND TABLE: Share your concerns about what measures are in place to prepare for catastrophic weather events (like Hurricane Irene); learn what local community members have learned about the 911 emergency call system; and more.

Copies of the book will be available at the Library; please call Joan @ 492-3550 if they’ve run out.
Sunday, April 28 @ 4pm: SCIENCE BOOK CLUB: Oxygen: A Four Billion Year History by Donald E. Canfield. A fascinating exploration of this essential element in surprisingly succinct form. Books are available at the Library; please call Joan, 492-3550, if we need to order more.
