Tuesdays at noon June 20 – August 8, weather permitting. All ages welcome! Meet at the gazebo by the lake.
From 6/27/2023 to 9/26/2023, Latham Memorial Library will host the book discussion series A Hard Look at America. Established by a newspaper publisher and coinciding with the founding of a journalism school at Columbia University, the Pulitzer Prizes have continually recognized excellence in journalism. The books in this series, comprised of Pulitzer-winning reporting and research, dig deep, revealing facts and stories that continue to be relevant years after they were brought to the surface.
All discussions will take place at 7:00 pm in the Reading Room on the main floor of the library, except for the first discussion which will be held at the Peabody Library in Post Mills.

Tech and Textiles at Peabody! Drop in for low-key technology chats and assistance, hang out and craft. Bring your device, your crochet/knitting/felting project, both or neither. It’s a flexible space for anyone looking for company while they create, or help setting up their new tablet, or just wanting someone to explain what exactly is cryptocurrency…I don’t know all the answers, but I love digging into these topics. We can chat while we knit, click around together, and set you up with further resources. And of course, you can also check out books.
Thursdays at Peabody from 1:00-5:00pm.
Get together with fellow knitters to knit and talk! All experience levels welcome. This program is now being held in person at Latham Library.
