A Tale for Seven Towns

The libraries from 7 towns in SE Franklin County (Deerfield, Leverett, Montague, New Salem, Shutesbury, Sunderland, and Wendell) have come together to plan a single community-wide reading program with a broad array of speakers and activities scheduled for February and March.

The book is The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl, by Timothy Egan. We selected this book because of the current interest in the environment, in climate change, and in sustainable agriculture.

Among the events are book discussions, film showings, slide shows and craft events, and "expert speakers." Books are available for borrowing from each of the seven libraries.
