March marked the three-year anniversary of COVID-19 as we know it. I remember making a sign for the door at my last job saying we’d be closed for two weeks.
First and foremost, we would like to thank all our Kent Memorial Library patrons for continuously showing their support and love for our “Books & Beyond Program.”
The onslaught of the COVID virus has been devastating in many ways, but it has also brought about some creative and innovative ideas. One of the notable ones has occurred right here in Suffield at our local library. Beginning in April of 2021, librarian Pinki Shah, with her co-worker Sabine Schneider, instituted a Zoom program called Books and Beyond. This is not your usual book group discussion, and it is not part of a larger or national effort; it is something entirely local and entirely owing to the energy and thoughtful problem solving of the two librarians. Six times a year, during the fall and winter when outdoor activities are limited, the women select a book, often one by a debut author, and one with strong positive reviews.
Do you know your way around a sewing machine? An Instant Pot? Do you do your own bike repair? Have you mastered your bonsai tree? Or maybe you just learned how to play the mandolin, or like to yodel for a captive audience.
