Don't Pop Your Cork

No matter how much we love children or how fulfilling we find caring for and educating them, it is difficult and demanding work. There are no instruction manuals or cookbook recipes, nor are there mandates that require us to take care of ourselves. However, your success as a caregiver is determined in part, by your ability to renew your energy and meet your own needs.

Plant Swap

Celebrate Houseplant Appreciation day at the library! Bring in your unwanted, pest-free plants (babies or mature), and go home with another variety of your choice! Please include variety name and care instructions if you have them.

Banjos, Bones, and Ballads

Traditional songs, rich in local history and a sense of place, present, and the latest news from the distant past. They help us interpret present-day life with an understanding of the working people who built our country. Tavern songs, banjo tunes, 18th century New England hymns, sailor songs, and humorous stories about traditional singers and their songs highlight this informative program by Jeff Warner. Brought to you by a grant through the NH Humanities. For more information visit www.nhhumanities.org.
