KML Programs

Kent Memorial Library made the transition from summer to back to school and into the fall season last month. Adult services held another great reading challenge with the theme of Overlooked & Underrated Titles and began a morning walking program that moves on through the end of October. Find more information at suffield-library.org. More adult programming in October includes Halloween fun as well as Books & Beyond with Alka Joshi and her new novel The Secret Keeper of Jaipur. In November, keep an eye out for some fun celebrations like Diwali!

Where the Sidewalk Ends

Christine and Scott MacClinic have built a Free Library for neighbors to enjoy.

Library Activities

Kent Memorial Library thrived this summer as our reading programs, contests and events brought in a record number of participants in many areas.

Suffield Fraud Prevention Council

Car warranties, student loan debt forgiveness, threats from the IRS. Have you gotten phone calls or voicemails from people asking you about any of these topics (and more)? They’re just a few of the countless methods cyber criminals employ to steal your personal information. Some of us have grown accustomed to the “spam” calls on our phones because our friends will text instead of call. However, some of us simply don’t know these scams even exist.

The Book Sale is On!

The Friends of KML book sale will be held again at Sacred Heart Church’s Father Ted Hall on the weekend of September 10 – 12.
