Library Update
|
The library punch list grows shorter. That list of not-quite-finished items that typifies all significant building projects has happily lost some of its items; work continues on others. Electricians buried power cables for three new light posts to illuminate the concrete stairways leading down from the new south side door. That project, donated by the Library Foundation, then paused in early October awaiting delivery of the light posts themselves. The first half of the historical archives material, returned from storage in September, has been distributed on the new shelving of the Spencer Historical Room.

The title of this column comes from Diana Athill’s book, a memoir she wrote at 89. She wrote with wry humor of her life and what it is like to grow old and face death.

Christmas in Suffield
|
Christmas in Suffield is a unique experience. No other community in our area features multiple Christmas fairs on the same day. This year five fairs will be held on November 2, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Second Baptist Church’s Fellowship Hall will be teeming with activity. They will be selling plants, Christmas decorations, stitchery and knitted items, costume jewelry and a bake sale which also features jams, jellies and preserves. There will be attic treasures upstairs in the activity room.
