Our May meeting will be Wednesday the 22nd from from 3:15-4:00 PM. This month we will be reading Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater. We hope you can join Lisa for this fun group which incorporates books, food, and crafts. Sign-up preferred, but you can just drop in, too.
The Friends of the Rye Public Library invite you to attend a second program of the popular first presentation of their 2013 programming series. Dr. Nathan Hamilton comes ashore to share his archaeological adventures on the Isles of Shoals.
In just four years of an ongoing “dig” at the Isles of Shoals, Nathan Hamilton and his archaeology students have unearthed 250,000 artifacts. Those bones, stones, and fragments of human occupation tell volumes about life on a rock. Learn more about their work and findings at this entertaining and educational presentation. Dr. Hamilton notes: “Many people who live at the edge of the sea, deposit their refuse at the edge of the sea.” And what makes this site, the western end of Smuttynose, so useful for archaeologists is that it is undisturbed.
Our next meeting will be April 17th from from 3:15-4:15PM. We usually meet in the youth department on the fourth Wednesday of the month, but will meet a week earlier this month. We will be reading Thunder from the Sea by Joan Hiatt Harlow. We hope you can join Lisa for this fun group which incorporates books, food, and crafts. Sign-up preferred, but you can just drop in, too.
