Join the Poetry Circle for a discussion of a different poet each month. Meets the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in Conference Room Two (second floor) of Town Hall/Library.  Email Carole Davis: marketupc@verizon.net for more information on joining the poetry circle.

Join Donna French McArdle as she shares her new book If.

 If, a book of poetry written to honor transformation and welcome the unfamiliar, traces daily life through both quiet memory and stories told and retold. People emerge from their pasts and their myths, and objects seem to shift. In these poems, versions of self, of others, and of landscape alter continuously, becoming their next iteration. 

Kids ages 6 and up are invited to sign up for a 15-minute session with gentle therapy dog Hazel Mai. Come meet her, and practice your reading aloud using any book you like - she loves to listen! There will be 4 sessions today, and you may sign up for one of them.
