Emily’s Friends of the Library is holding their annual members meeting with a special talk to follow! Tom Ricardi of Massachusetts Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Center will present on Raptors of the Pioneer Valley.

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.

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.

Join us for a new ongoing series of movie screenings just for our teen patrons. This month we’re viewing CRAZY RICH ASIANS!

We will show a different movie each month, with those in attendance helping to pick out what to watch next.

For grades 7-12. Admission is FREE and refreshments will be provided!
