FREE and open to all ages. Join us as we welcome back local music group Crimson Canary for the first performance of our Out of this World Concert Series! They are thrilled to have accordionist Chris Haynes join them for a special evening of French, Italian and Spanish music. 

Happening RAIN or SHINE!! That means that weather permitting, they will take place on the Library Green. Some chairs will be provided but please feel free to bring a blanket or lawn chair.

However, in the case of inclement weather — the show must go on! The performance will happen downstairs in our programming space at the back of the Youth Department. If so, we will advertise as such the day of the concert.

Join us at Nonotuck Park, Pavilion #4 for our traditional final event featuring local music STARS Andy & Brandee!! This event is open to all ages. Sign up to let us know what you can bring to the picnic. Rain or Shine, we are on!

This new series, geared toward teens but open to all, will tackle important issues facing our local community and beyond.

Did you know that, at the Easthampton Community Center alone, over 1400 families facing food insecurity are served each month, with over 8000 pounds of food distributed every week? So often the struggles these families face remain invisible to most, and it’s critical that we shed light on this issue.

Join us in welcoming a panel of food-access-experts to the Library, who will share their perspectives on this important topic. Please consider bringing your own questions, comments, or stories to share as well.

“Critical” 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.

Learn how to make perfumes using different essential oils. Class is taught by Nora Zinan, Holistic Nurse. Registration required. Call the library or come in to sign up.

In the Perfume-Making with Essential Oils class, Nora will talk about the historical use of essential oils for both health and perfume-making. Participants will learn the properties of the oils and their blending companions, and then blend the oils that are most appealing to them, making their own personal perfume.
