My goodness, it has been forever since we last posted so I bet you are ready for some news! It was very exciting when Just this last week our website took a vacation... Katy, after a number of tries and help from Lester (our tech guru), finally got everything back to rights. The website is important as it keeps you, our lovely patrons, up to date on our upcoming events and programs... Do check as we have two more events scheduled for October including the one below!
This drizzly, dismal morning has been good for reading... I was able to finish The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombado.
As Town and Country said, "A sprawling, enchanting debut, this novel jumps back and forth across time to tell the story of one powerful, complicated, and unforgettable family as they navigate love and loss" This reader, who always looks forward to a debut novel, was not disappointed... in fact, I loved it! So much so, that I am looking forward to Ms. Lombardo's latest offering, Same as It Ever Was , which we will soon order. Do share your thoughts about this absorbing read!
And now... New books... catalogued, labeled, and ready to be checked out!!!
7/15/2024... New Books (in no particular order) just in!!
The Cliffs by J Courtney Sullivan (AF 2024)... A novel of family, ghosts, and homecomingset on the seaside cliffs of Maine... I can't wait to read this! Actually I have enjoyedALL of Ms. Sullivan's books and all their family, drama, love carryings on... bet you will too!
You will find Ms. Sullivan's books on the 2nd shelf of the Summer Reads display!
You will find Swan Song on the same 2nd shelf in the Summer Reads display.
Additional Nantucket books are on the shelf in case you have to wait... We love them all
and you don't need to read them in any particular order!

Welcome to another week at the Rumney Library and this one starts_
with April Fool's Day... Stop in and play a joke on us... We will be ready!
And perhaps we will have a few to play on you!
It looks like the weatherman has a few jokes to play on us too
if the predictions play out. Be sure to check before heading our way
on "questionable" days.

Getting Ready for the Total Solar Eclipse!
The Eclipse is coming! We hope you can join us tomorrow,
Tuesday March 26, at 5:00 when Sally Jensen, a NASA Solar System Ambassador,
will explain this exciting event and have special solar eclipse glasses and
information to pass out so people will understand what is happening. “Observing
a total solar eclipse is a truly incredible experience. As the moon passes
between the sun and the Earth, the sky darkens, temperatures drop, and the
stars become visible in the middle of the day, the sun’s corona, the outer
atmosphere, becomes visible as a beautiful halo around the moon. We, in New
Hampshire, will have to wait another 55 years for the next solar eclipse to
happen for this area, even though eclipses happen on a regular basis, about
twice a year somewhere on Earth. The goal is to help people enjoy the
experience safely.”
We are re-scheduling our Seed Swap thanks to last
Saturday’s snow storm. It will take place on Saturday, April 6th at
10:30.
Book Club is still on schedule for Friday, March 29th, at 5.
