SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM:
A Universe of Stories
This summer we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Upstairs at the library there will be some drop-in self-directed activities as well as a Book Review Challenge, which asks you to submit a very brief book rating and review card for a small prize and a ticket for a chance to WIN a $100 Gift Card to Atlas Farms or Greenfield Games! Tell us if a book brings you to the moon and back, or leaves you lost in space.
Also look out for space-related activities at the Monday Night Music concerts and bookmarks with links to really interesting space-related websites.
The Tilton Summer Library Program is brought to you by the Friends of the Tilton Library.

Third Thursday Book Discussion – Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield
2019-06-20 18:30 - 20:00
On a dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the river Thames, an extraordinary event takes place. The regulars are telling stories to while away the dark hours, when the door bursts open on a grievously wounded stranger. In his arms is the lifeless body of a small child. Hours later, the girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? Or can science provide an explanation? These questions have many answers, some of them quite dark indeed.
Three families are keen to claim her. A wealthy young mother knows the girl is her kidnapped daughter, missing for two years. A farming family reeling from the discovery of their son’s secret liaison, stand ready to welcome their granddaughter. The parson’s housekeeper, humble and isolated, sees in the child the image of her younger sister. But the return of a lost child is not without complications and no matter how heartbreaking the past losses, no matter how precious the child herself, this girl cannot be everyone’s. Each family has mysteries of its own, and many secrets must be revealed before the girl’s identity can be known.

Free and open to all. Copies of the book are available at the library.
