Last month I was appointed as the Secretary of the Friends of Beals Memorial Library, during their annual business meeting.

One of the projects I am working on, as part of a library team, is a set of four community conversations, to be held throughout the winter months. The title of these conversations will be, “Bridging Ideas and Building Futures”. The discussions will be based around four questions about discovering our community identity.

The library sponsored something like this a few years ago in a program called “the town wide read”. As a community we read the Book, HEY KIDDO

That book sparked some powerful discussion back then. This new town wide discussion forum is going to be connected to other reading and viewing opportunities. I am hoping we will see not only interesting discussion but affirmative action towards becoming something new.

I will keep you updated. Is your community doing anything exciting this winter?
