Richards Free Library

Our activity today, Thankfulness Turkey Craft, has been cancelled due to the storm and a sick children’s librarian! Happy Thanksgiving!

Don’t forget we will not be holding Preschool Story Time nor Toddler Story Time this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  See you next week!

After looking at the  forecast  for this evening it has been decided to postpone the program until after the holidays. We hope that you will enjoy your evening at home with a good book.

Just in case you missed it…we had some visitors at the library on Halloween from the land of Oz!

Please note: due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Wednesday Night Book Group will meet on the second Wednesday in November, the 14th.  We will be discussing the book The Witches of New York by Ami McKay.  Copies of the book are available for loan from the library.

Please note our Brown Bags and Books book group will be meeting in November at noon on the second Tuesday, November 13, not the first Tuesday as usual due to the Town of Newport voting day. We will be discussing the book Finding Nouf by Zoe Ferraris. Copies of the book are available from the library for loan.

Richards Free Library and the Judges of the Sarah Josepha Hale award are pleased to announce that Nathaniel Philbrick is the 2018 Sarah Josepha Hale Award Medalist.  He will accept the award on October 6, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. at the Newport Opera House.  Morgan Hill Book Store of New London will have copies of several of his books for sale that evening.
