*Daytime Book Group: The daytime book group will continue to meet throughout the summer. The group’s next meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 9, at 1 pm. Regular members and newcomers (who are always welcome) will be discussing Anne Seierstad’s The Bookseller of Kabul.

Written by a Norwegian journalist, Bookseller tells the story of a large middle class Afghani family and the everyday trials they experience after the fall of the Taliban.

Other books this group plan on discussing include The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley on September 13, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides on October 18, and Eugenie Grandet by Honore de Balzac on Nov 8.

*Library Concert Series: The final concert in Booth Library’s summer concert series – which has moved this year to The Pleasance at 1 Main Street – will be River City Slim & The Zydeco Hogs on Friday, August 13. The concert will begin at 7 pm.

Because of the limited parking available at The Pleasance we are asking that anyone who can handle the walk park at the library and walk down the hill to the concert site. Thank you in advance for your help. Bring your own chairs or blankets for seating, and remember that while you can still bring your own refreshments to the concerts there are no trashcans at The Pleasance so we ask that you also plan to carry out any trash you might create.

C.H. Booth Library, at 25 Main Street, can be reached at 426-4533. Summer hours are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 am to 8 pm, Tuesday and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Friday from noon to 5 pm. The library is closed on Sunday during the summer.
