CLOSED SUNDAY, MARCH 31.
FREE FRIDAY FILM: Our March offering is Academy Award nominee The Holdovers, about a curmudgeonly instructor at a prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit a handful of students with nowhere to go.
Join us in the meeting hall next to the library on March 8 at 7 PM for this comedy drama starring Paul Giamatti. Free snacks.
TRUSTEES MEETING: March 27 at 4 PM. Meetings are held at the library and are open to the public.
BOOK GROUP: Klara and the Sun tells the story of an Artificial Friend (an android) while pondering the question of what it means to love and, further, to be human. We’ll be discussing this thoughtful Kazuo Ishiguro novel on Thursday, the 28th at 7:15 PM. Copies of the book are available at the library, and I’ll post the Zoom link (for those who choose to attend remotely) a few days before the meeting.
THANKS: to Michael Arpino and to everyone else who donated their used materials last month.
