Another Little Free Library was installed recently by Peter Anderson and Gary Young, on the lawn of Cafe One East and it is managed by Peter. This and the red one at NHTM are both registered in the nation-wide Little Free Library Book-Sharing Network. LittleFreeLibrary.org.
How this works - “Take one, Leave one”. Anyone may take a book, but then you are encouraged to add a book you are finished reading to replace the one you are taking. Books for children are encouraged, too. There is no extra place to store additional books so please only replace what you take. Join the fun and think about what your neighbors may like to read!

Did you know cabbage moths are territorial?
Library Assistant Linda Lacasse found this suggestion to prevent cabbage moth caterpillars - scare the moths away with imitation moths! A printable Moth decoy page is available at goodseedco.net/blog/posts/cabbage-butterfly-decoy. or make your own! Linda says: I cut them out, put them back to back and slide a piece of string in between. Use packing tape to seal them, then tie string to a stick.

On Tuesday May 18, the Library Board of Trustees voted to aim for reopening the library to brief in-person browsing around June 28, 2021. The decision is based on low levels of local Covid-19 cases, increasing vaccination levels, and waiting for completion of a floor refinishing project which is scheduled for Mid June. The floor project will require moving furniture and shelves.
