Greetings!
If
the sunny weather has you anxious to get outside, keep in
mind that a quick visit to the library can help you maximize your enjoyment of
the outdoors. Find books on landscaping, gardening,
masonry and all types of home repair to plan for upcoming weekend
projects. Pick up a museum pass and enjoy a stroll through the grounds
at the Fells Historic Estate and Gardens on Lake
Sunapee or the spectacular views from
the trails at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard,
MA. Or check out a magazine such as Runner's World, Backpacker, Bicycling, Golf
Digest, Outside, Sail, Organic Gardening, or Wildbird to help pass the days until spring finally comes into full bloom.

The Big Read: New Hampshire Reads
To Kill A Mockingbird
 The Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library has organized a
statewide program that asks everyone in New
Hampshire to come together and read Harper Lee's
classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a great
coming of age story, but also inspires many topics of discussion: who is a
hero, the importance of standing up for what is right, the role of defense
attorneys in society, relationships between the races, courage, justice and
more.
Throughout the month of March, organizations across the Granite State
will be holding film screenings, book discussions, presentations by local
attorneys and appearances by Atticus Finch himself. For more information about
"The Big Read: New Hampshire Reads To Kill a Mockingbird,"
including the calendar of events, links to follow the project on Twitter and
Facebook, information about the many project partners, and links to the
National Endowment for the Arts' Big Read site, visit www.bigreadnh.org. |
