Are your kids looking for something exciting to do after school on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:15? Why not stop at the Library! We'll have several ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ stations set up for the kids to select from. Activities may include building challenges, easy experiments, crafts, and more! Librarians will guide and facilitate choices.
Children may take the bus from Atkinson Academy to the Library
if parents make arrangements with pick-up patrol. (The Library is not taking
responsibility for the transportation, we are only letting you know that there
is a bus that stops here.) Please pack them a snack that they can have before
3:30.
Parents MUST let the Library know of any changes to the drop
off/pick up routine OR if their child is not attending the class. Safety first!
Sign your children (grades K-5) up ONCE for the 4-week
session. If the session is full, please put your name in the queue for priority
in the next session.

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO CEMETERY
SLEUTHING WITH ERIN MOULTON: Cemeteries hold invaluable
clues to genealogical research. Etched in stone are names, symbols and
abbreviations that not only tell us more about our ancestors but also about
their place in time. This program will cover strategies to help locate you your
ancestor’s burial place, how to make the most out of a visit and how to
decipher a variety of symbols. Most of the content will cover New England
cemeteries, though many symbols can be seen nationwide.
Erin has over 12 years of experience tracking down interesting real-life questions at the reference desk as librarian and genealogist. She holds a BA from Emerson College, an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a certificate in genealogical research from Boston University. Visit her online at www.erinemoulton.com.
HOLIDAY HOURS: The Library will be closed on Monday, October 9th
in recognition of Indigenous People’s Day. As always, you can access Libby,
Hoopla, Kanopy and Newsbank all with your library card in good standing.
