Watch Us Play!
|  | The Library is teaming up with the Amherst PTA to host old-fashioned children's games during the Amherst 250th Heritage Celebration on the Town Green, Saturday, September 25th from 9-3. Volunteers are needed to help oversee with games of hopscotch, marbles, sack races and more. No need to play the game~ just oversee them. What a fun way to share the town's history with the kids of Amherst! Sign up for a two hour shift by emailing Miss Sue.
