Pollinators – The
Food on Our Tables with Jodi Turner
Keeping bees and offering local beekeeping instruction has been Jodi Turner’s passion for over 10 years. Her love of bees was sparked at an early age while working at Stonewall Farm in Keene. Jodi’s program will focus on beekeeping but she will also teach us about other pollinators in our gardens. Honeybees may be the best known pollinators but there are many others who help bring food to the table. Jodi and her husband Dean own Imagine That HONEY! and live in Swanzey, NH. This program is free and open to all.

First Wednesday Book
Club
Join us in the Daniels Room where we’ll discuss Louise
Penny’s book, Bury Your Dead. Next month’s book will be Sixpence House by Paul
Collins. Paul Collins and his family abandoned the hills of San
Francisco to move to the Welsh countryside-to move, in fact, to the
village of Hay-on-Wye,
the "Town of Books"
that boasts fifteen hundred inhabitants-and forty bookstores. Taking readers
into a secluded sanctuary for book lovers, and guiding us through the creation
of the author's own first book, Sixpence
House becomes a heartfelt and often hilarious meditation on what
books mean to us. Copies of the book
will be available at the front desk.

regional choruses and opera companies including Granite State
and Raylynmor opera companies, Monadnock Chorus, and the New England Chamber
Choir. Soprano Amy Knight has
been a life-long lover of music. Amy has sung choral, comprimario and lead
