On Monday, April 6th, the New Town Book Clubs’ Little Library was installed and dedicated on the Elizabeth Davis Green across from the pool. Although the Library won’t be open for donations until the pandemic recedes, it was decided to go ahead to the degree possible, in anticipation of better times. The Library is dedicated to Sharon Keith, former New Town resident and a founder of the Wednesday Book Club. Sharon and her husband Bob lost their lives following a car accident
last April.

 

In order to achieve safe social distancing, those at the dedication with me were limited to Lucy Painter and Daisy Henna of the Women Who Read (Thursday) club, and Janet Hoffman and Betsy Darling of the Wednesday Book Club. All Club members were thanked for their generous financing of the effort.

The ceremony ended with a final dedication to community, perseverance and hope. Grand Opening plans will be announced as soon as possible. In the meantime, come check it out on a walk around the neighborhood!
