Adult Summer Reading Program
Once again adults ages eighteen and older are invited to participate in the Welles-Turner Memorial Library summer reading program. The overall theme for 2008 is Catch the Reading Bug. For teens and adults, metamorphosis is the word.
If you read four books from June 16 through August 12 you will receive a free t-shirt, courtesy of the Friends of the Welles-Turner Memorial Library. Pick up a log at the Reference Desk and Catch the Reading Bug!
For knitters of all levels. If you don't know how to knit but want to learn, we'll show you how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off, and will also provide ideas for some easy projects. Knitters do not need to share a book, but if you've read something (anything) you've enjoyed and want to share with others, bring it along. You do NOT need to be accompanied by a teen (or an adult!) to participate. Other needlecrafters are welcome to join us with your crochet, needlepoint, etc.
Synopsis: The relationship of two childhood friends is tested and torn apart whenan act of betrayal changes their lives forever. Twenty years later, one of them must come to the other's rescue in a daring attempt to set things straight. This film is based on the popular novel by Khaled Hosseini.
