This yeDirty Life Social Posterar our multi-member, Franklin County and a bit beyond, Libraries in the Woods group is reading The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love by Kristen Kimball.

Libraries in the Woods is hosting an Online Q & A with Kristen Kimball on May 26 at 6:30 p.m. Please contact the library for Zoom information.

The Arms has multiple copies of the book available. Large print and audio are available through CW/MARS.

THE ARMS WILL BE CLOSED TODAY, JANUARY 29TH, due to the incoming storm. We all need to keep folks safe, and let the highway people do their work. Please, everyone stay off the roads if you can, stay warm and stay safe.

The Arms is going to begin opening in Sundays, 12-3 p.m., beginning February 5th. Away from the busyness of the work week, we think it will be a sweet time for families to read together in the children's room, catch up with neighbors, read the newspapers in our sunny, southern facing reading room, or just relax with a good book in one of our comfy chairs.

MartinEspada FloatersDue to the rising numbers of the pandemic, the Arms Library is posptoning its gathering, scheduled for tonight, with Shelburne Falls resident Martin Espada, this year's winner of the National Book Award for poetry. Please, everyone stay safe!

Drop us a line if you would like to be conatcted when we start up again.
