TUE 5/23 @7PM Book Discussion 

Join us every third Tuesday for a book discussion. (Moved to fourth Tuesday due to Town Meeting)

This month we are reading Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder.  An artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced that she is turning into a dog and, as her symptoms intensify, struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity a secret, until she meets a group of mothers who may also be more than what they seem.

About the book Migrations:

A dark past. An impossible journey. The will to survive. How far would you go for love? Franny Stone is determined to go to the end of the earth, following the last of the Arctic terns on what may be their final migration to Antarctica. As animal populations plummet and commercial fishing faces prohibition, Franny talks her way onto one of the few remaining boats heading south. But as she and the eccentric crew travel further from shore and safety, the dark secrets of Franny's life begin to unspool. A daughter's yearning search for her mother. An impulsive, passionate marriage. A shocking crime. Haunted by love and violence, Franny must confront what she is really running towards – and from. Register here.

SAT 5/27 – MON 5/29 CLOSED Summer Hours Begin! We will be closed on Monday, May 29 for Memorial Day and we will continue to be closed on weekends until September.

Straw Poll Results

Please find linked the comparative results of the straw poll of citizens and the actual results of the deliberative Annual Town Meeting on May 16, 2023.

Forty three voters took part in the survey and 524 attended the Town Meeting. The initiative was conducted in preparation for the possibility of future virtual town meetings where remote voting would need to take place, or providing access to those who cannot participate at the meeting for good reason, such as disability or military service, but choose to be part of Town Meeting deliberations.

Thank you to all who participated.
