ANESU Vacation Week!
April 23 - 27 
Join us anytime during the vacation week to make a stamp for future questing! 
Questing is a game played across a community or geographic place. Originally coined in the USA, it is similar to the concept of letterboxing (England) where clues lead to sealed boxes to be found in a type of treasure hunt. Created by school groups, scout groups, historical societies, libraries and others, there are now over 200 quests across Vermont and New Hampshire. Please call or email ahead for yourself, or a small group, and we will work with you

Book Recommendations For April:
Piecing Me Together by Renée Watson
&
​The Away Game by Sebastian Abbot

Renée Watson is a New York Times Bestselling author, educator, and activist. Her young adult novel, Piecing Me Together, received a Coretta Scott King Award and Newbery Honor. Her book offers a powerful story about a girl striving for success in a world that too often seems like it's trying to break her.

Richly reported and deeply moving, The Away Game is set against the geopolitical backdrop of Qatar’s rise from an impoverished patch of desert to an immensely rich nation determined to buy a place on the international stage. It is an unforgettable story of the joy and pain these talented African boys experience as they chase their dreams in a dizzying world of rich Arab sheikhs, money-hungry agents, and soccer-mad European fans

 Recipes Wanted!
It’s not too late to add a recipe and story to the book being created by              John Elder’s ​college class for the Town of Lincoln 
We are a class of Middlebury College students working with the Burnham Trust.
​In small teams, we are creating projects that we will present on May 5th in Burnham Hall. For our project, we, Mike Pallozzi, Ry Storey-Fisher, and Natalie Cheung, are creating a cookbook that will be a compilation of recipes shared by community members of Lincoln. In the cookbook, we would love to include stories and images that you associate with your recipes. The cookbook will be printed and shared at the May 5th event, and it will also be available online in PDF form. Check with the library for ways to contribute your recipe.

​Toddler/Preschool Story Time: Fridays at 10:30 am 
​Story time is held at ​10:30am every Friday. We welcome babies, toddlers and preschoolers for an hour of puppets, songs, stories, a snack and a craft or play session outside.
