Performances by local musicians are held on the lawn of Tilton Library (or inside the Children’s Room in case of bad weather.) Bring a chair and a friend. Monday Night Music is sponsored by the Friends of Tilton Library and is free and open to the public.

Hidden Heroes Book Talk – Wonder by R. J. Palacio

The first of three book talks with Reba-Jean Shaw-Pichette, in costume. Join us for the talk and free pizza, sponsored by the Friends of Tilton. (Sign ups for pizza needed.) Free and open to all ages. Wonder is the story of ten-year-old Auggie Pullman, who was born with extreme facial abnormalities and was not expected to survive. He goes from being home-schooled to entering fifth grade at a private middle school in Manhattan, which entails enduring the taunting and fear of his classmates as he struggles to be seen as just another student.

Monday Night Music – Well Tempered Ukes

Well Tempered Ukes are Western Mass trio Robin Hoffman, Richard Perlmutter & Marlene Wong. They specialize in early music, and parlor and art songs, which they sing and play on ukuleles. Performances by local musicians are held on the lawn of Tilton Library (or inside the Children’s Room in case of bad weather.) Bring a chair and a friend. Monday Night Music is sponsored by the Friends of Tilton Library and is free and open to the public.
