Though temperatures seem a bit chilly summer is just around the corner and before you know it we’ll be complaining about the heat!
Monday, May 26, 2025 marks Memorial Day. Vincentown will again remember and honor those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives in the service of their country.
AND…
This year the library have a float in the parade to promote summer reading: Color Our World. Be on the lookout for Maile and Kim in their colorful creation! And be sure to stop by the Children’s Library to say hello and have a cup of lemonade!
Since school is nearing and end for the year, we stopped by to ask Ms. Kim what plans she has for summer programs. She had a “few” ideas!

It looks like spring is here! Songs of spring peepers, buds forming on trees, daffodils and spring ephemerals welcoming the season with glorious colors! Mother Nature at her finest!
Spring is also the time when folks begin to emerge from their winter habitats to step out and see what’s going on in the community.
Here are a few activities and events happening.
Ms. Kim is busy, in the Children’s Library, planning for the summer (already!) but for now, has sent along a couple of reminders for events happening soon.
Of course story time happens every Wednesday morning at 10:30.
Here’s a list of dates for April – mark your calendars!
There’s also a couple of gathering of young Chess enthusiasts scheduled for April:

Our Annual Backyard Event!
A fun evening of Magic and Comedy with Brian Richards!
According to the National Weather Service, February, is on average, the snowiest month in the United States (the Full Snow Moon). We’ll have to wait until February 2nd when Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his home to let us know if winter is officially over. If Phil hurries back inside, not to worry, get the sleds ready for some winter fun!

This January has be brutally cold! It is perfect weather to stay indoors and settle into a cozy chair with a warm blanket and a good book. So why not stop by the library? Our friendly staff will be glad to suggest an author or title to dig into. Or, speaking of digging, you might request a gardening book and dream of flowers, warm weather, and spring!
The library will be closed today due to inclement weather. Stay safe and warm, and off the roads if you can. Why not settle in with a good book? Tomorrow should be sunny – we’ll see you then!
We’re looking forward to the upcoming holidays. When the library gets decked out in festive lights and greens it is absolutely beautiful! Stop by for a visit and chat with our friendly staff.
If you haven’t ordered your Poinsettia yet it’s not too late – but HURRY. You can still send your order by email to have it in before December 1st.
And if you’re shopping for a special gift, you might want to check out this holiday event.
Friend of the library and the woman behind our great art show every year, Nancy Gower, is having “Art at the Barn” and you are all invited!
No info on events planned yet in the Children’s Library, but we’re sure Ms. Kim has something up her sleeve to help ring in the holidays!
