For emergencies, let the Library know as soon as possible. Warnings will be issued for registrants who miss a program without advanced notice. On the third warning, the registrant will be suspended from program registration for 3 months. Registered attendees who arrive to a program 10 minutes after the scheduled start time will forfeit their spot and it will be treated as an absence. The Library has to take this action due to the high cost of programs, existing waitlists, and empty seats reserved for absent registrants. Your cooperation is appreciated. https://boxlib.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/adult-craft-time-giftable-paper-craft-bookmarks-2/

Registration is required for each individual meeting. Have you considered joining a book club but donât know if you can make a long-term commitment? Our 3rd Tuesday Book Club may be just right for you! This group will meet the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, and registration will happen on a monthly basis.

If you still need a book after this date, please contact the Library and we can assist you in obtaining one. This month we're reading Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame by Olivia Fordâa huge-hearted, redemptive coming-of-old-age tale, a love story, and an ode to good food! After fifty-nine years of marriage, as her husband Bernardâs health declines, and her friends' lives become focused on their grandchildrenâwhich Jenny never hadâJenny decides she wants a little something for herself. So she secretly applies to be a contestant on the prime-time TV show Britain Bakes. Whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras and timed challenges, Jenny delights in a new-found independence. But that independence, and the stress of the competition, starts to unearth memories buried decades ago. Chocolate teacakes remind her of a furtive errand involving a wedding ring; sugared doughnuts call up a strangerâs kind act; a simple cottage loaf brings back the moment her life changed forever. With her baking star rising, Jenny struggles to keep a lid on that first secretâa long-concealed deceit that threatens to shatter the very foundations of her marriage. Itâs the only time in six decades that sheâs kept something from Bernard. By putting herself in the limelight, has Jenny created a recipe for disaster? https://boxlib.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/3rd-tuesday-book-club-4/
