Copies of Daley’s book are available at the library for checkout. Daley will be talking about his book with local author Seth Harwood, answering your questions, and signing books. Join us for tea and coffee to follow.

The Library is excited to welcome local artist Heather Beck to kick off a brand new programming series just for teens! Artists in Action will feature a new artist and new medium every month, providing students from grades 7-12 with the opportunity to try out projects that normally require a little bit of know-how before getting started.

Space is limited, so if you or someone you know would like to participate, please contact the Library to register!

“Artists in Action” is brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
