EASTON âThe Friends of Easton Public Library will host an eclectic book sale the weekend of June 12-14.

Inventory will include books published from 1850 to 2009. Many of the older volumes have dust jackets and decorative boards (covers).Â The newer books include best selling authors and book club titles. Hard cover and paperbacks, childrenâs books, CDs, videocassettes, books on audiocassette and some DVDs will also be available for purchase.

A âfirst pickâ opportunity will take place on Friday, June 12, between 6 and 9 pm. There will be a $10 admission fee for non-residents.

On Saturday, June 13, the sale will take place between 9 am and 4 pm and admission will be free to all. The sale will continue on Sunday, June 14, 9 am to 1 pm, again free of admission charges.

The purpose of this book sale is threefold. First, to engage booklovers; second, to allow readers to stack up on reading material for the lazy hazy days of summer at a reasonable price; and third to begin to make up some of the $9,700 cut to the libraryâs materials budget for fiscal year 2009-10.

Donations of new and/or gently used adult and childrenâs hardcover and paperback books, CDs, and DVDs will be accepted during library hours until June 11 at noon. Encyclopedias and textbooks are not being accepted.

The library is at 691 Morehouse Road, at the corner of Center Road. For additional information including regular library hours, call 261-0134 or visit EastonLibrary.org.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
