Looking forward to May, we have another Study With a Puppy session May 7 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Youth Center on Bridge Street. Teens grades 6-12 can come for pizza, study time, a bit of recreation and some pet therapy, thanks to Healers with Halos.

Good news for SHS graduates: Kent Memorial Library has digitized all of the SHS yearbooks from years 1940 to 2014.
The grand opening has not yet been scheduled, but progress in the Kent Memorial Library building was reported to be “moving right along,” and the goal has been set for the building work to be complete by the end of April or early May so the librarians can complete the job of moving back from Ffyler Place.
April is a busy literary month. It is National Poetry Month. It also contains National Library Week, National Bookmobile Day, Poem in Your Pocket Day, and a whole host of other literary holidays few people will celebrate.
Fancy Nancy is a character in a children’s book series written by Jane O’Connor, and everything about Nancy is fancy. With fancy in mind, children ages 4 – 8 are invited to dress in their favorite ensemble for a Fancy Nancy soiree on Saturday, April 27 at 11 a.m.
