Story Time on Thursday nights will feature Tall Tales and flannel board stories. All children welcome with their caregivers.

The book club will be reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer.

The Random House blurb about the book says:

January 1946: writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. And so begins a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.

Random House also gives a Reader’s Guide with questions and discussion topics. Check it out and see if it adds to your enjoyment of the book.

I looked through the customer reviews from Amazon and many people loved it but some gave it one star. Read the book and tell us which side you’re on!

Join us at the Pember Library at when Ray Gaylord will lead a discussion about the history of Granville.

Ray plans to start by telling us about the Native Americans who lived in the area. We’ll talk about the Revolutionary War era and the settlers who came here then and why they chose this area. During the mid-nineteenth century, many people moved here to work in the slate quarries.

Copies of some of the photographs from the Morris Rote-Rosen collection will be on display and the quilt from the Village Hall will be on view.

We will welcome questions and appreciate any facts that audience members may want to share.
