Calendar

Read, be read to, or read to someone! Join us for our SRP at The Emily Williston Memorial Library! Sign up starts Monday, June 27th and runs through August 8th. This Summer is packed with events, programs, special guests, and raffles! All you have to do is register and keep track of your time! Something for everyone! More information will be coming!

The Sun Print Solar Paper lets you make beautiful pictures by placing objects on the paper and exposing it to the sun. Place a fern, flower, or other object on this special paper and set it in the sun briefly. We will rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears!  The paper undergoes a chemical change when exposed to sunlight. Save the print by soaking in water then drying.

Come hang out after hours at the Library, and play some games with your friends! We’ll have a broad selection of board games to choose from, and our Nintendo Switch will be set up to play any of the games in our collection.

Anyone interested in tabletop roleplaying should attend as well, for an introduction to a new gaming opportunity coming to the Library!

Food and drink will be available for those who feel comfortable with it.

An educational presentation from the ACLU of Massachusetts, in partnership with Decarcerate Western Mass. Learn more about the roles that MA Sheriff’s play and what decision-making powers the job holds. This program does not endorse any candidate and is presented for educational purposes only. Representatives from the ACLU will share the presentation and answer questions from attendees. Please register to receive a Zoom link to the program.

From the ACLU:

Sheriffs have the power to make our communities safer and more just for all—but most Massachusetts voters don’t even know who their sheriff is.
It’s time to change that. It’s time to Know Your Sheriff. 

Know Your Sheriff is a public education campaign by the ACLU of Massachusetts to build voter awareness about the life-changing decisions that sheriffs make. Polling shows that many voters are not familiar with sheriffs—but when they learn more, they are more likely cast a ballot for sheriff in the next election.  Knowing your sheriff means knowing that YOU have the power to demand safer communities and a more just criminal legal system.
