Upcoming Events At Stephentown Memorial Library
• Youth Book Discussion Group – We are starting a new book discussion group for students in grades 6 thru 9. The group will meet monthly on Saturdays at 1 pm, beginning on February 26. We want your input on which books you’d like to read and discuss. Stop by the Library anytime and add your suggested titles to the box at the front desk. Our first book will be I so don’t do mysteries by Barrie Summy. Sherry (short for Sherlock) wants more mall time, less homework and a certain cute boy. Instead, she’s recruited by her mother’s ghost to prevent a rhino heist at San Diego’s Wild Animal Park. Copies of the book are available now at the Library.
