The Book Club Play by Karen Zacharias |
|
Book clubs hold a special place in American life as readers gather to discuss the books they love and that they love to hate. Williamstown Public Library’s 150th anniversary continues with two staged readings of The Book Club Play, a comedy about the meltdown of a book group by Karen Zacarias. |

Gardening Volunteers! |
|
We have been hard at work beautifying and sprucing up our library grounds and could use some helping hands! Feel free to swing by on the dates below to assist with clearing out dandelions and other unwelcome flora. Plus, it's a great opportunity to inquire and gain knowledge about creating a welcoming habitat for pollinators in our garden. |
|
|
If you are interested in lending a hand, join our volunteers this month on May 14th and 28th, 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.. For future gatherings, see our Events page.
