NEW @Merrill Library

If you like to think and read and discuss, please join Jill on the third Friday of the month from 3-4 PM. Each month we will set the next month’s topic. For our November meeting, we are reading The Benefits of Being an Octopus by Ann Braden. The book tells the story of a family living on the edge of financial stability and deals with issues of bullying, socio-economic differences, and learning to find your voice.

Third Friday each month
3-4 PM
Register at the Front Desk or email Jill (joconnor@yarmouthlibrary.org) for more info.
