This group meets on the second Wednesday of the month usually via Zoom. Our two town libraries – West Buxton Public Library and Berry Memorial Library – are hosting “One Book, One Community,” a community reading event. Check out a copy of Horse at either library. Read the book in 6 sections (1 section per month), answer the fourth set of discussion questions this month (chapters 28-36; pages 245-310), and write reviews for entries into a drawing for a gift card to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. 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! Are you a crafting enthusiast? Join us for our Crafters Group on Sunday, July 7 and Sunday, July 21 from 1-3pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect, share ideas, and work on a craft project. This group is drop-in and meets the first and third Sunday of every month.   If you would like to craft at another day and time other than Sunday, join me for “Bring-your-own-craft” night on Thursday, July 18 from 6:30-7:30pm. “Bring-your-own-craft” night is a monthly program on the third Thursday of the month. Try a challenge or free build from 1-3pm during Lego Club on Sunday, July 14 and Sunday, July 28. All ages are welcome. This group is drop-in and meets the second and fourth Sunday of every month. Thank you for your support and I hope to see you at the library soon. Sincerely, Caroline Nickerson, Library Director
