Take-Home Kits for Kids
The Library is offering two Take-Home Activity Kits for Kids this week.
For kids in 4th grade and up: Journal Sparks! This kit includes a book about journaling and lots of the supplies recommended in the book.
For kids in Kindergarten and up: Perler Bead Fun! This kit includes lots of beads, pegboards, and instructions for creating melty projects.
One kit per age group, per family. To reserve a kit, email library.director@shutesbury.org.
These kits are supported in part by a grant from the Shutesbury Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
Giving Tuesday!!!
This week 193 donors contributed $35,000 to the Friends of the Library’s New Library Fund.
This generous outpouring of support for the New Library Fund surpassed all expectations!
We have been working on this project for a long time and the Friends of the Library will continue to fundraise for a new library until the project is complete. Your support this week was a huge boost of confidence – for our efforts and our dream. Thank you.
Small Library Pilot Project
Our Town’s application for the Small Library Pilot Project grant has been submitted.
The next step is a visit from a grant review team in January.
Our application is posted on the Small Library Pilot Project webpage.
Shutesbury 2022 Calendar!
The calendars have arrived. They are $15 each or two for $25. They are available at the Library and at the Shutesbury Holiday Shop. Due to a technology glitch, the Holiday Shop folks cannot accommodate the two for $25 pricing, so if you want more than one, come to the Library or the Friends of the Library Shutesbury Store next week.
