Join us for TRUNK OR TREAT
Thursday, October 31 from 4:00-6:00
We're looking for 10 individuals to join us on Halloween in the Library parking lot for our Third Annual Trunk or Treat. Organizations and families interested in hosting a space should send an email to [email protected] to reserve a spot. Themes are encouraged but not required. Costumes are eagerly anticipated. Please bring enough treats for 2 hours of distribution and plan to be in the parking lot by 3:30 at the latest. Can't wait to see you all dressed up for a night of silly, spooky fun. Please note that the Library will only be open for service from 1:00-3:00 PM that day to allow time for the parking lot to be empty for the event. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This Month's Take-and-Make: Binoculars and Scavenger Hunt
As the days turn cooler, the light changes and it feels like an invitation to get outside and explore the arrival of a new season. This month's craft includes two different nature scavenger hunts and all the supplies to make some paper binoculars. Inside each bag is an array of stickers and tape to customize your specs to make the truly one of a kind. Stop in and pick up a bag, and then once you're done crafting, you can step outside and see what new discoveries and treasures await you. 
Sharing Food From Our Garden
Right now the tomatoes are coming in, there are some peppers and the beans are busting out all over! If we're lucky we'll get a few more eggplants, and we definitely have basil to share. Whatever food we harvest we'll put on the table near the entrance to the Library. If you have any surplus of foods from your own gardens, you can bring it to the table on Wednesdays, so that others may enjoy it. Here's hoping that the weather will cooperate and that the plants just keep growing and producing before the frosts set in. |
NASA Europa Clipper Model Display & Poetry Challenge
Europa is the smallest moon of Jupiter and a watery world with potential for supporting life. In mid October NASA will be launching the Europa Clipper spacecraft that will orbit Europa and send back information about the little moon. For the month of September the Fairlee Public Library will display a model of the spacecraft and Europa. The public is invited to learn more about this mission, and wax poetic about distant celestial bodies as inspired by the generous and lyrical work of US Poet Laureate Ada Limón. 
Vermont Granite Museum Pass
With a generous donation from The Friends of The Fairlee Public Library we have purchased a pass to the Vermont Granite Museum. The Friends have also renewed our passes to VINS and The Fairbanks Museum. The Rondo gave us the funds for a pass to The Billings farm and ECHO in Burlington gives a pass to all of the Vermont libraries. We have a pass for Vermont parks and historic sites as well. The passes can be checked out for three days at a time and are the perfect way to see some cool things before school starts at the end of the month. Passes can be checked out to Fairlee residents and families can have only one pass at a time. A library of books is the fairest garden in the world, and to walk there is an ecstasy." E.
