Book Discussions

We continue to meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month (except December) for a lively and interesting discussion of a title chosen by the group members. We discuss the book, the author, and other related issues. Anyone who enjoys connecting with fellow book enthusiasts is welcome to join by contacting the library and picking up a reading copy of the book. Free, open to all, ADA accessible. Call 802-333-4716 for more information.

Aquarium & Science Center Pass

Ask at the library to borrow the Library ECHO Pass, and up to two adults and three youths will be admitted to ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center, at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, for just two dollars each. The current pass expires on October 31, 2010. The Center is located in Burlington at the bottom of College Street on the waterfront. The library has a copy of directions to the center and this and other information may also be obtained on their website: www.echovermont.org.
