Richmond Library Newsletter

By Philip Anselmo

News from the Richmond Memorial Library:

Summer is officially over but that doesn't mean the fun has to end. 
There are lots of activities at the Richmond Memorial Library that you 
will want to investigate. Looking ahead, Anne of Green Gables is 100 
years old and the library will be celebrating this monumental event on 
October 1st. This intergenerational program will include a spelling 
bee, a baking contest, and a book discussion. Watch for updates on our 
webpage and prepare by sharing this timeless classic with your children 
or grandchildren.
