SUMMARY:Song Circle
DESCRIPTION:Do you sing or play an instrument? Join our Song Circle and share in the tradition of making music together. You don’t need to know the song or even the tune—someone starts\, others join in (or don’t!)\, and the music unfolds naturally. \nDon’t play? That’s perfectly fine—come listen and enjoy. No experience required\, just an open heart and curious ears. A cozy and joyful way to spend a snowy Saturday.

SUMMARY:Reuse & Gift-Giving Party at the Library!
DESCRIPTION:We’ve received so many wonderful donated items and more are arriving every week that we’ve decided it’s time to have a party! \nEveryone is welcome to stop by the library and browse for treasures things you might want to give as gifts or simply enjoy for yourself. Together\, we’ll keep great items out of the landfill and a little more money in our pockets. \nIf you’d like to make a donation to the library\, that’s always appreciated — but absolutely not required. We know this can be a tough year for many\, and in the spirit of our Department of Environmental Protection Reuse Grant\, we thought this would be a fun\, community-minded way to share and pass along useful items. \nLast year\, so many beautiful and practical things found new homes throughout the season\, and we can’t wait to see that happen again! \nSpecifics to come.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Grandmother Spring
DESCRIPTION:Ted Whittenkraus will be speaking upstairs \nGrandmother Spring is what is commonly referred to as an Indian spring. I confess that for 42 years I looked at grandmother as a poorly constructed European water well. It is actually a very sophisticated hydrological achievement. It is also the center focus of a fascinating complex of stonework\, intended to bring balance to the lives of the people who once hunted\, farmed\, and built wigwams in this and surrounding towns. \nSpeaking of balance\, there would not be a grandmother if there were not a grandfather. Thirty feet to the north of grandmother spring we have grandfather spring. We’ll talk about grandfather as well.
