November has some great book discussions in the queue, and we hope you’ll consider taking part.  Take a look below and see what matches your age or timing.  Newcomers are welcome at all discussions so feel free to drop in without having read the book just to see what it is like.

Please be sure that you have included the Kimball Science Fair in your plans for Saturday, November 10^th, between 11am and 2pm.  All ages may drop in, but the experiments are geared for elementary school through early high school.  There will be “make and take” experiments as well until supplies last.  This event was made possible by Harvard Pilgrim Community Spirit Mini Grant.  

Please note that we will be closed on Monday, November 12^th, observing Veteran’s Day.  We also will be closed for Thanksgiving and the following day (November 22-23).  We will be open on Saturday, November 24.   Please stock up and plan accordingly.
