Chichester Town Library
News
As many know, especially by reading the great article in the
July 12th edition of the Sun, the Historic Chichester Garden Tour is
happening this weekend, with its many additional attractions.
The library will be supporting this effort by staffing a booth with
gardening and garden-related books for sale—at used book prices, of
course. Come, visit and see what bargains you can pick up.
Tomorrow, July 27th at 10:30 a.m., the Audubon Society will be at
the library as part of the Summer Reading Program (SRP), “Build a
Better World,” to teach the kids about various birds.
Additionally, the participants will be making seed balls to help
build a better world for the birds, which helps to build a better
world for everyone.
The Teen Advisory Group will be meeting on
Saturday, July 29th. This group is all about helping to build
a better community (world). They have already done a
documentary on some of our more established citizens, which was
available for viewing last year. On August 12th, they will be
facilitating the making of sweet rolls for a program of the SRP,
which will directly benefit our hungry police officers and
firefighters.
As an adjunct to the SRP, there will be FaceBook
postings with hints from a book we found at the used book sale, “How
to Make the World a Better Place,” by Jeffrey Hollender.
Although copyrighted in 1990, many of the basic tenets are still
relevant.
The Down Cellar Writers will be meeting on Monday, July
31st, at 7 p.m.
Don’t forget the “little libraries” set up at
Carpenter Park and the Town Hall/Grange.
The book for next
month’s meeting of the Evening Book Club is All the Light We Cannot
See, by Anthony Doerr. This book has received accolades from
all who have read it. Join the group for the great discussion
next month (August 9th) that is sure to happen.
