Deerfield Reads! Registration and Books Available February 1
What if everyone in Deerfield read the same book? Reading great books prompts us to think about ourselves, our environment and our relationships. Talking about books with friends, family and neighbors often adds a richness and depth to the reading experience. We hope you will read and enjoy "Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash" by former western Mass. resident Edward Humes and - talk about it with your friends and neighbors - attend the book discussion and related programs listed on this calendar and at Tilton Library - meet new people and share ideas - read more for pleasure and encourage your children to do so "The real secret at the heart of Garbology may well be the potential for a happy ending buried in our landfill. Waste, Humes writes, is the one environmental and economic harm that ordinary working Americans have the power to change - and prosper in the process." All programs are free and open to the public. Events include: STEM workshops for kids; Worm Bin Workshop; Lou's Upcycling Workshop; Mobile Art; Book Art Workshop; Book Discussion, Eat It Up Food Challenge; Highway 91 Talk. Watch this calendar for a complete listing of dates and times. Program length: February 16-March 28, 2016. This project made possible with funds provided by: a grant from the Deerfield Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; Friends of Tilton Library; Greenfield Cooperative Bank; Greenfield Savings Bank and private donations from library users.

March 10, 2016 -Upcycled Bird Mobile Workshop with Candace Bradbury-Carlin
Upcycled Bird Mobile Workshop with Candace Bradbury-Carlin
When birds fly they seem to be made of the very air they soar through. In this workshop WE WILL USE DISCARDED PLASTIC MILK JUGS to make three dimensional birds as part of a mobile. The translucent material of the milk jug highlights the airiness of birds in flight. These mobiles are easy and fun to make. When done, these fluttering sculptures can hang at a window, over a table, or outdoors. Sign up at Tilton Library or by email at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org This free DEERFIELD READS program made possible with funds provided by a grant from Deerfield Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, Friends of Tilton Library, Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
