LIBRARY NEWS May 2019
****************************************************************
MANY THANKS in advance to all who took part in the EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ROUND TABLE on Friday, April 25th: Everyone who contributed the results of their concerns and research about the lack of telephone service during power outages, especially CHUCK FINBERG, JONATHAN GIBSON, ANN VANNEMAN and SHARON WINNICKI.
And to the Select Board members who shared their knowledge and agreed to participate. Most of all, KUDOS go to DIRK THOMAS, who as a member of the Library Program Committee, organized this important event, tirelessly making calls to participants and refining the topics.
We welcome new volunteer MEG MELLOR, and are happy to see all our regulars coming back from their winter homes. We greatly appreciate your support! Please call Joan (492-3550) or Lisa (492-3732) or the Library (492-3410) to join our crew of staffers.
Coming Events:
Friday, May 3 @ 7:30 pm: ANNE SARCKA will talk about her new book, Strong Spirit, Steadfast Heart: The Life and Times of Elizabeth Man Sarcka: the part memoir, part oral history, part biography of her mother, the remarkable woman who co-founded Spring Lake Ranch in 1932 with her husband Wayne. This delightful and inspiring book is available at the Library.
Friday, May 10 @ 7 pm: SHAKESPEARE FILM CLUB shows “Hamlet” starring Maxine Peake from 2015: A cross-dressing treat. Thanks to Michael Flanigan for bringing us these films!

Sunday, May 26 @ 7 pm: SCIENCE BOOK CLUB: The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman. For veteran birdwatchers and novices alike. Copies will be available at the Library; please call Joan if you need another: 492-3550.
