Looking for a kind and comfortable atmosphere to share a story or discover inspiration? We would like to meet you! The Storytelling & Writing Group usually meets the 3rd Saturday of every month from 11:30-12:30pm. Individuals with any amount of experience are invited! Bring a story in progress or just your curious self. Adults and families are both welcome. Meetings are led by professional storyteller Dr. Gail N. Herman, who wants to make storytellers and writers out of all of us!
Our semi-annual book sale returns! As always, this is the place to find amazing deals on great books for adults, kids, and teens, as well as CDs and DVDs.
But this year, there’s MORE!
The Friends have invited artists and craft vendors to share the lawn with them, offering homemade creations from jewelry, to woodworking, to local honey and more! It’ll be a bustling and fun time, with all kinds of awesome finds!
PLUS, we’ll have a special display of the work from our weekly Brick Builders Club, generously funded by the Friends. Kids can play with LEGO bricks while their parents look around!
Book sale proceeds benefit Emily’s Friends of the Library, a group dedicated to volunteering and fundraising for our library. For more information about joining the Friends, stop by the main desk or visit the Library online at: ewmlibrary.org.
This group picks a book to read each month and comes together for a lively discussion on the second Wednesday afternoon of each month. For information on the latest title, please visit the Wednesday Afternoon Book Club page of our website!
