We report with sadness the passing of long time friend and former library colleague Anna M. Allen, who was at one time our library’s Children’s Librarian, at another time Library Trustee, and a lifetime avid reader and promoter of reading. We shall miss her.

Posted on February 15, 2024 by nladd

https://www.facebook.com/events/176909092150591

Telling personal and family stories is fun – and much more. Storytelling connects strangers, strengthens links between generations, and gives children the self-knowledge to carry them through hard times. Knowledge of family history has even been linked to better teen behavior and mental health. In this active and interactive program, storyteller Jo Radner shares foolproof ways to mine memories and interview relatives for meaningful stories. Participants practices finding, developing, and telling their own tales.
