“A Universe of Stories . . . to Remember.” That’s our theme for the summer program. We will celebrate our return “home” to Main Street with lots of baskets to give away!

KML Teen Programs

Suffield Youth Services and Kent Memorial Library are working together to help SHS students manage the stress of finals. Parents can encourage their students to attend the June 4 Study with A Therapy Dog session at the Youth Center located in the Senior Center on Bridge Street. From 6 to 7:30 p.m. students can study with friends, steady the nerves with therapy dogs and nourish the soul with pizza and treats. Why study alone when you can be with friends? “Healers with Halos” have been very generous with their time, and the students really enjoy petting the dogs while they study.

I recently read Sam Fuller’s account of how the library on 50 North Main Street came to be. The building’s inception was awash in what Sam called “blood and tears.”

The Suffield Parks and Rec department is excited to announce a Summer 5K Series at Bruce Park, on the high school’s cross country course. Races will be every Tuesday at 6 p.m. from June 18 through July 16. Charles Brydges, a rising senior at Suffield High School, is organizing the races for the Department.  “I’ve participated in similar races in nearby towns for five or six years. I’m excited for Suffield to have a similar race series”, said Mr. Brydges.
