Teen Programs
|
Fall is officially here, with November bringing thoughts of hot cider, warm fires and reading. It’s always a good time to stop into the library to grab a few books (we have lots of new titles) or old movies as an alternative to staring at your phone during rainy weekends. And don’t forget to sign up for the free teen programs we have scheduled. As always, keep an eye on our website, our instagram (@suffieldlibraryteens) or email wmitzel@suffield-library.org to get on our teen newsletter mailing list. And stay tuned for tons more programs in December – we’ve got you covered for great homemade holiday gifts!

Preppers Please!

Preppers take text material submitted to the paper and “prep” it in column format. They also serve as copy editors, adjusting details to the Observer’s standards. Preppers work from the 10th of the month to the 16th. Shifts are usually scheduled in two hour time slots. Contact us at inbox@thesuffieldobserver.com or (860) 668-7442 if you are interested in joining our team of volunteers.
