Why should Northampton have all the fun? On the same day artists will be marking their sidewalks with chalk, visit our library to add
some art of your own to our outdoor areas. Chalk will be provided, or feel free to bring your own. All ages welcome.

Join Jennifer Delozier, MEd. for a 6-week series of workshops. We will experiment with stories, poems, letters, songs, or illustrations (and sharing your writing is always optional). Writing can be fun or serious, or a little bit of both — you’re in charge of what you create! Space is limited, so registration is required. Call 529-1605 or email youthdept@ewmlibrary.org to sign up.

David Daley, former Editor-in-Chief of Salon, joins the library on June 14th to talk about his book, Rat F**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Count. With much political and judicial debate around gerrymandering in today’s news cycle, we are thrilled to have the man who wrote the book uncovering the GOP-organized REDMAP program to reshape districts and legislatures in favor of Republican interests. 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.
