The Board of Trustees are an elected town body which is entrusted with overseeing, maintaining and planning the future for the most democratic of all our public institutions, the public library. Library Board members are responsible for working with other board members to oversee the library, establishing policy and plans, determining the final budget and conducting public relations. The powers and duties of trustees are covered in Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 78, section 10-13. Meeting agenda is posted at Deerfield Town Hall at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting

A blind child and a Catholic nun disappear from a sidewalk in plain sight of onlookers. Detective Kathy Mallory and the NYPD's Special Crime's Unit enter the investigation when the nun's body is found with three other corpses in varying stages of decomposition left on the lawn of Grace Mansion, home to the mayor of New York City. The child, Jonah Quill, is still missing. Unknown to the police, he is with a stone killer, and though he has unexpected resources of his own, his would-be saviors have no leads - except for Detective Mallory's suspicions of things not said and her penchant for getting to the truth beneath lies. Join us on the first Thursday of the month for a lively discussion of this month’s title and other of life’s mysteries. Copies of the book are usually available at the circulation desk or can be reserved online or by asking at the desk. This discussion also features cheese pizza while it lasts. Free and open to all.

Do you want to practice your English? Come to a conversation group at Tilton Library on Thursdays at 6:30. Facilitated by Alice Armen this drop-in program is free and open to all.
