From Angelique:

Thank you Saskia Groom for giving our latest After School Program! Saskia lead an enthusiastic crowd of 17 kids in an exploration of African dance and drumming. Before each program the kids meet in the library, giving them a chance to socialize, use the computer and browse the books.

Our program takes a short break next week and resumes December 2nd with the Hayden Family sharing their chickens with us. They have some special activities planned that you won't want to miss!

We still need babyfood jars for the December 9th Snow Globe program. Please drop them off at the library door anytime. THANK YOU!

See more photos from Saskia's program at here.

Other news:

Yoga instructor Gianna Gilmer will be presenting a program for all ages discussing the benefits of connecting the mind & body, the program will be for all ages and all levels. We will have more information soon. Monday December 1st at 3:30 (children must be accompanied by an adult).

July Pot Luck

nobody@vox.com(Pittsfield Library) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:06:22 -0400

Our July Pot Luck community picnic became a pot luck dinner, but in spite of the rain we had a great turn out. Several of us came home with Amish Friendship Bread starter (thanks Shari). If you loved Angelique's cole slaw, the recipe can be found here (Angelique suggests cutting the oil in half).

It was a great honor to have "Children Gather Round" and their huge drum here in our little town hall. Here are a few photos.

Join us Wednesday the 23rd at 6pm for a nature scavenger hunt, and every Saturday morning for stories and crafts.

Please join us for our July community pot luck picnic. As always it's a chance to meet and spend time with your neighbors and see the latest books at the library, but this month we have a special program.

CHILDREN GATHER ROUND Drumming from the Heart has performed at schools, libraries, camps, festivals and 1st Night celebrations in Vermont and New England.

Gather with us around the drum and celebrate the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Children and adults alike...everyone gets to drum, dance and sing with us!

The picnic is by the playground next to the Pittsfield Roger Clark Memorial Library on the green on route 100. The picnic starts at 4pm and the drumming program will be at 6pm. The event is rain or shine and will be held in the Town Hall next door in the event of rain. Please join us and bring your friends and neighbors to this free community event.
