I Went Into the Woods – The Life and World of Henry David Thoreau presented by Barry Deitz
In collaboration with Sunderland Public Library and held in Sunderland at 20 School Street. Walden has inspired generations of writers and readers to find a place of their own, to go out into nature, to escape the quiet desperation Thoreau saw in the lives and faces of so many of his neighbors. We still respond to that today. The program will look at the life and times of Thoreau, the extraordinary world of mid-nineteenth century Concord and the group of writers and thinkers who changed American literature forever. This free program is brought to you by Tilton Library and the Sunderland Public Library.
Ice Cream Party
In celebration of Tilton Library's 100th birthday and in honor our 100 year relationship with South Deerfield Women's Club. Tilton Library will hold an ice cream party Saturday July 15 from 3:00-5:00 PM. In addition to a variety of ice cream treats, Ed Popielarczyk will be on hand to entertain with his balloon sculptures and local musician Jay Stryker will play piano. This community event is free and will be held rain or shine at the library. The ice cream party is being offered as part of Tilton Library’s 100th anniversary celebration. It was inspired by an ice cream social held by the South Deerfield Women’s Club more than 100 years ago as part of their fundraising efforts to support building a new library. This year’s party is sponsored in part by the Women’s Club and members will hand out treats on the 15th. More information on this and other anniversary events can be found at www.tiltonlibrary.org. The library’s 100th anniversary year began with a re-dedication ceremony and birthday party in November 2016. Funds to build and furnish Tilton Library came from the estate of local storekeeper Chauncey B. Tilton, from the town, private donations, and from Women’s Club fundraisers. An integral part of the community for the past 100 years, Tilton Library continually updates resources and services to respond to changing needs. In addition to print and electronic materials, Tilton Library offers programs for adults and children, and revolving exhibitions of local artists. As the library enters its second century, plans are being made for an addition that will provide more room for its collections, dedicated space for young adults, and community meeting space.
