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.

Let’s Get Acquainted

Hello old friends and welcome to my new acquaintances! Some of you may remember me from three or more decades ago when I was employed at the Kent Memorial Library.

The Gift

The holidays are upon us and with it the promise of gifts. Lewis Hyde in his book The Gift, first published in 1983, and never out of print, offers a thoughtful exploration on gifts.

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.
