Join us for a discussion April 26, 11 AM, at the Pember Library about how to talk to your doctor and take an active part in your health care decisions. Marlene Bryant and Brenda Tyler from Granville Family Health will lead the discussion.

New and historical images of birds will be on display downstairs at the library, along with mounted specimens from museum archives, close-up videos on the big screen of birds in their natural habitats as well as interactive bird watching games for all ages and levels. Upstairs, the museum will be open for visitors to browse and use our new self-guided tour app on their phones.

Read it and Eat Book Club

by

This year’s book club will feature stories from the Adirondacks and other nearby places. Our first get together will be April 12 at 5PM. The book we will read is “A Northern Light” by Jennifer Donnelly. Order your copy through the library catalog, or call/come in to the library.

Goodreads says: “Sixteen-year-old Mattie Gokey has big dreams but little hope of seeing them come true. Desperate for money, she takes a job at the Glenmore, where hotel guest Grace Brown entrusts her with the task of burning a secret bundle of letters. But when Grace’s drowned body is fished from the lake, Mattie discovers that the letters could reveal the grim truth behind a murder.
Set in 1906 against the backdrop of the murder that inspired Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy, Jennifer Donnelly’s astonishing debut novel effortlessly weaves romance, history, and a murder mystery into something moving, and real, and wholly original.”

The group can decide during that meeting how often we will meet and what books we will be reading the rest of the year.
