Library is closed Saturdays in July and August

 

FBI Agent Julia Cowley (Virtual)

Tuesday, August 22 at 7 p.m.  Join Special Agent Julia Cowley for a look inside FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit.  Cowley will discuss how and why she became an FBI profiler, what profiling is (and isn’t), and some of the most memorable cases in her career.

Cut Flowers for Sale

Mondays, Holly generously delivers six bouquets of freshly cut flowers from her Essex garden.  Purchase a bouquet for $10 and support the Friends of the Library and the children’s collection.

Regional Social Worker

Wednesdays, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the first floor meeting room.  Free, private and confidential, learn about resources, gain strategies and skill to assist in stress reduction and management.  No appointment necessary.

Hospice Care and Services (Virtual)

Wednesday, August 23 at 7 p.m.  Over the past few decades, hospice care has become a more familiar part of our collective vocabulary and experience, yet many of us still don’t fully understand its purpose, scope, costs, availability, and more.  We will be joined by Dr. Bernice Burkarth-Chief Medical Officer and Chaplain Eric Redard.
