HOWARD COFFIN is coming to Tenney on Sunday, October 25th at 2:00 pm to treat us to a brand new program. Many Vermonters consider Howard their favorite historian. On Sunday he asks, “Who is Vermont’s greatest Civil War general? Is his name Grant?” Howard’s response is a resounding, “YES!” Some may know Lewis Addison Grant as the leader of the famous Vermont Brigade, but we will be guided by Mr. Coffin through much more of Vermont’s Grant’s life. The Newbury Historical Society is joining Tenney Library in bringing this program to us. Of course, there will be refreshments. If you have any questions please email us: tenneylibrary@gmail.com
PATRONS’ PICKS! I would like to start creating a notebook full of your personal favorite book titles. If you are interested just send me a page or less with an author, title and why you like the book so much. It might help a new reader if you said something liked ” If you liked ___________, you might like this book,too.” I will have a bright purple notebook waiting for you on the table where we put the “free” stuff. Hope you will join in and see what happens. Mary B.
Happy News! The Atlantic Monthly is now part of our library offerings to you. We will receive both a digital format as well as the monthly magazine. Patrons may contact me for the password if you are a Patron of Tenney Library. It will be a few weeks before the magazine makes its way to us. I will let you know when it is here. The Atlantic Monthly started publishing in 1857 – 167 years! They must be doing something right!
