Reading & Discussion Book Group

We will discuss two books at the March event: A Cafecito Story by Julia Alvarez (59 pages written in the original Spanish language and translated to English) and Fountain and Tomb by Naguib Mahfouz (117 pages). Because both books are short, we're doubling up! Both books are available to sign out at the library and they are yours to keep. Reading & Discussion will be held on Saturday 3/14/26, 2:00-4:00PM. Snacks and beverages will be potluck style-- bring something to share if you can but not required.

For more information contact Carol at cplante802@gmail.com

Movie Night with Historical Society (Part 2)

Come to a movie night at the Varnum Memorial Library as we join the Cambridge Historical Society in hosting the 1965 Walt Disney Studios movie Those Calloways - "A Maine woodsman's dream of a bird sanctuary is threatened by unscrupulous profiteers. A heartwarming story." This movie was filmed in Jeffersonville/Cambridge and many townspeople remember it.

We will be showing this in 2 parts, so we can pause to give folks a chance to identify places, and reminisce about certain scenes.
