Friends Book Collection Cancelled for February
|
The Friends of the Library are sorry to announce that the February 1st book collection is cancelled because our storage space at 230c Mountain Road is full. We are so grateful for all of the wonderful donations that we have received thus far, and hope that those of you who planned to donate books will save them until we have additional storage space. We need to find space to store donated books so that we can resume our monthly book collections soon, hopefully on March 7. If you have or know someone who has a clean, dry, accessible (few or no stairs) space about 8’ x 10’ or larger, we would love to hear from you. Without storage space, we are effectively done collecting for this year, so PLEASE HELP!!!

Local Author Entertains
|
Mike Chase, Suffield native and author of the book How to Become a Federal Criminal: an Illustrated Handbook for the Aspiring Offender, spoke to an appreciative audience at Kent Memorial Library on Thursday, November 7. The talk was sponsored by Suffield Public Library Foundation as part of their yearly speaker’s event. Mel Chafetz, president of the Foundation and one of Mike’s former school principals, introduced Mike, and Carl Casinghino, another Foundation member and one of Mike’s former teachers, made further introductions along with some personal comments about their connections both at Suffield High School and since Mike graduated. “Mike spends his days as a white-collar criminal defense lawyer. He is also the legal humorist behind the @CrimeADay Twitter feed, where he offers up a daily dose of his extensive research into the curious, intriguing and often amusing history of America’s expansive criminal laws.
