“Clegg is both delicately lyrical and emotionally direct in this masterful novel, which strives to show how people make bearable what is unbearable.” Booklist Third Thursday is an informal group, open to all, no sign up necessary. Reserve your book at the adult circulation desk or online.
This session, in conjunction with our Deerfield Reads program will focus on re-use and recycle. We'll have stations to visit and a few ongoing projects. Everything will be made of something that already had a use. Some questions we hope to answer: How can you make a piece of paper big enough to walk through? How can you use empty chip bags for something else? Activities at the sessions will help us answer these questions. This enrichment activity is funded by Frontier Regional Coordinated Family and Community Engagement Program which is funded by the MA Department of Early Education and Care and by Tilton Library.
Artists Candace Bradbury-Carlin, Allen Fowler, Sue Katz and Reba-Jean Pichette display found object art, mixed media and art constructs through March upstairs on and over the mantle piece.

Sale of all art work is between the artist and buyer - Tilton Library receives a percentage of sales. Come see what can be done with found and used objects and materials. Pictured - Pure Full Blast by Candace Bradbury-Carlin.
