We would like to give special thanks to Kevin McClain, Alan Borys, Bern Terry and Mike and Sally Burgess for helping to make these 2 raised beds a reality. We plan to integrate them into our childrens’ programming.
Mary Arbuckle has provided a link to view the play Silas Takes The Air which was performed at Burnham Hall in June as part of the Burnham Hall 100 year anniversary.
ThankYou Mary.
The play is now airing on Ch16 for those who have cable, and can be viewed on NEAT’s website: neatbristol.com

Vermont Reads
2019 marks the 17th year of the Vermont Reads Program, in which the Vermont Humanities Council invites citizens across the state to read the same book and participate in a wide variety of community activities related to the book’s themes.
Over 200 different Vermont towns, cities, and villages have participated in Vermont Reads to date. Schools, libraries, service organizations, churches, businesses, or other community-based organizations have all taken part.
For the first time in the 17-year history of the Vermont Reads program, we have chosen a graphic novel, a format that combines prose with narrative drawing. We think that March: Book One will engage many current fans of Vermont Reads, and also attract a new audience who has not yet participated in the program.
Our hope is that after reading March: Book One, readers will be inspired to keep learning about, exploring, reading, and discussing the issues of this seminal time in our country’s history.”
Happy 4th of July! Our glass display cabinet is filled with patriotic postcards from Lucinda Cockrell’s extensive Postcard collection! It truly is “not to be missed!” |

Lab Girl
by Hope Jahren
Monday, July 29th
7PM
Geobiologist Hope Jahren has spent her life studying trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Lab Girl is her revelatory treatise on plant life—but it is also a celebration of the lifelong curiosity, humility, and passion that drive every scientist. Warm, luminous, compulsively readable, Lab Girl vividly demonstrates the mountains that we can move when love and work come together.
