Just a reminder that unlike some other libraries, our hours do
not change in the summer. We are open
M-F from 10-8, and on Saturdays from 10-3.
One exception coming up is the 4th of July. This year it falls on a Tuesday, and we will
be closed. Happy Independence Day in
advance. Plan your check-outs accordingly.
Another summer reminder is that the New England Aquarium does
not allow museums to use the passes during June, July, or August. Other passes we have do have available are
the Currier Museum of Art, Imajine That, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, John
F. Kennedy, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, Peabody Essex, Seacoast
Science Center, & Zoo New England.
Passes can be reserved in advance by logging into the website or calling
us. There are additional passes from
Sandown and Plaistow the can be picked up from an Atkinson resident one hour
before closing the day before use.
Contact them directly about reserving those.

BUILD A
BETTER BOOK CLUB: Wonder is the funny, sweet and incredibly moving
story of Auggie Pullman. Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old, but he is
far from ordinary. Born with a terrible facial deformity, this shy, bright
ten-year-old has been home-schooled by his parents for his whole life, in an
attempt to protect him from the stares and cruelty of the outside world. Now,
for the first time, Auggie is being sent to a real school – and he’s dreading it.
Auggie sees himself as just an ordinary kid and all he wants is to be accepted.
But can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, underneath it
all?
Build a better world against bullying. Copies of the book ‘Wonder’ will be available
at the front desk and children’s room.
Conversation and candy will be served to t/weens entering grades 5 and
up on Wednesday, July 5th, at 6:30pm when we gather. The movie
‘Wonder’ is coming out in November. Let’s talk now! If time allows we will
choose some books for the fall book discussions. Register in advance.
