Along with a full Summer Reading Program, the Children’s Room is pleased to be able to offer a great selection of 78 new books which recently arrived. These books came through the Libri Foundation’s Books for Children Grant, awarded earlier this year, and a donation from The Friends of the Library. This year the Libri Foundation also included $350 worth of math and science books through a donation from Hal Berenson and Laura Ackerman.
The Children’s Room will hold a “Be the First” to signout a new book event on Wednesday, July 10, at 3 p.m. Most of these 78 books are nonfiction, but included are some picture books and chapter books. Topics include history, space, sports, math, biographies, fairytales and folktales.
These books should engage and encourage children of all ages to read about areas of their special interest.
The public is invited to this Children’s Room celebration. These books are a wonderful addition to the collection.
The library is located at 21 High St. For more information, call 882-7161.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
