It was a dark and stormy night...or at least it was forecasted to be! We're going ahead with Not-so-scary story time this Friday despite the forecast- at this point it's tradition! Stop in this Friday at 6:30pm for an evening of stories, crafts, seasonal treats, and if there's a break in the rain- a campfire! The S'more the merrier :).

It's almost time! We're pleased to announce we have another session of "Take-It-Apart" with Deb Sigel coming up this Saturday, (10/10) at 10:30am. You bring the kids, a responsible adult to stay, and broken stuff to take apart. We provide everything else. Head to the event calendar on the Pierson website for a list of what (and what not!) to bring. Ages 5 and up (even better for ages 8 and up). To register, please call the library at (802) 985-5124. See this wonderful program featured recently in Seven Days news!

Shelburne resident Deb Sigel, a former NASA engineer, started offering the workshops 16 years ago to make engineering fun and accessible.

It’s been 25 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Join us at the library on Thursday, September 10 from 6:00-7:00pm as we come together as a community to remember and reflect.

We’ll be joined by former New Yorkers who witnessed the events firsthand, as well as others who had personal connections to the attacks, for a respectful and somber panel discussion. Together, we’ll reflect on that terrible day and consider where we are now, nearly 25 years later.
