Check out a copy of Horse at either library. Read the book in 6 sections (1 section per month), answer the second set of discussion questions this month (chapters 10-18; pages 75-145), and write reviews for entries into a drawing for a gift card to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. See “Stay Tuned…” for the two discussion questions you can answer at the library or via email for an entry into the drawing. Join me for Story Time on Tuesday mornings from 10:30-11am. Listen to a story, sing some songs, enjoy some felt board fun, and participate in a craft. Stuffies usually make an appearance!

This group meets on the second Wednesday of the month usually via Zoom. Are you a crafting enthusiast? Join us for our Crafters Group on Sunday, May 5 and Sunday, May 19 from 1-3pm.
