Hi Everyone!
While I've been slow on the updates due to time constraints, we've had a wonderful Spring of programming here at the Amherst Town Library.
In February we had some great Maritime Adventures and were treated to presentations on the Boston Harbor Islands, and the submarine USS O-9. We also cooked some delicious seafood with Oonagh Williams, a local favorite.
In March we traveled through time and were amazed by Mentalist Rory Raven, discussed the future of film with Boston Globe Film Critic Ty Burr, debunked the Mayan doomsday prophecy of 2012 with R. P. Hale, and even had visit from Shakespeare!
In April we went to France and learned how to paint impressionist paintings with Greg Maichack, learned to cook delicious crepes with Elizabeth Skipper.
Along the way we had our Sundays at Four concert series, funded by the Friends of the Amherst Town Library. We were treated to some great guitar music from the Back Bay Guitar Trio, enjoyed the Celtic stylings of Long Time Courting, and listened to the classic Brazilian and American sounds of Sonny and Perley.
Lest you think otherwise, we are currently planning a number of events for our Summer Reading program, starting on June 28th with a wonderful presentation by Professor Henry Smith entitled Life in Paris - Pictures and Stories. Professor Smith travels to France every year, and is happy to share his insider's knowledge of the City of Light.
