The Cozy Book Club will meet on Thursday this week. No set book, just a gathering for readers and neighbors!

Join us at the Quechee Library this Saturday from 11-1pm for snacks, warm drinks from the Keurig, and good company! Neighbors (in the most inclusive sense of the word) can gather in the warm library to chat, make new connections, and enjoy a bite!
