East Somerville Community Week Success

 

Poster 2

 

Broadway sparkled a little more during the month of October with the efforts of local East Somerville youth, who put their talents to work making anti-litter posters.  The posters were hung along the library fence to remind passersby to "put it in the can man"  and "give a hoot don't pollute."

 

  Seedfolks Discussion

And 'sparkling' conversation filled the library at the book discussion of "Seedfolks."  Both events were offered as a collaboration between the East Branch Library and East Somerville Main Streets. 

 

A special thanks to local Author Melissa Glenn Haber for leading a great discussion, and to the Friends of the Library for their donation of refreshments.
