and see how it tastes! It could be messy, but it definitely will be
delicious. Registration is required for
this fun event. This is for ages 4-8
only, please.
The lovable Lab is back! Hawke, the reader dog, will be in for another fun and furry visit on Wednesday, February 20th, from 4-5pm. We need YOU to register to read to Hawke. She’s waiting to hear some great stories, and only you can help! Please come, bring your favorite book, or borrow one of ours, and spend some time reading to our canine friend, Hawke. Register!! (If no one registers she will not come.) Parents, no need to worry, Lady Hawke is a trained therapy dog with lots of love and patience.
Atkinson
Author, Catherine O'Brien, will be here on Tuesday, February 19th,
for a talk and reading of her book, 'The Apple of Discourse'. The ‘Apple of Discourse’ tells an enthralling love story taking
place on a university campus during World War II. Men were scarce during
that time because they were 'over there'. Women had more opportunities
due to this shortage. Millie White, the daughter of an eccentric
professor, finds employment at a local service station. John McCarran,
the son of a dairy farmer, enlists in the Army serving in the Big Red
One. When their paths cross on the university campus three years later,
John now a wounded veteran meets and falls in love with Millie. John has
competition despite the overwhelming majority of women. Millie's father
had matched her up with his teaching fellow, deferred from service due to his
amblyopia. The Dean of the College of Business has his eye on her as
well. These young people, though, have the same stripe only they can see.
Catherine O'Brien was born a navy
brat, but she spent most of her growing up years in Fremont, NH. Since childhood,
she has been interested in history and writing. She now lives in Atkinson, NH
with her husband and twelve year-old daughter. The ‘Apple of Discourse’ is her first
published novel. Books will be for sale
the night of the event.
