American 250 Book Club: Our Journey Quilt
Our recent meeting was a beautiful celebration of storytelling! We loved sharing our personal stories as we assembled our custom 6x6-inch paper quilt squares. A huge thank you to Eileen and Sue, who have volunteered to piece our individual blocks into one master quilt in time for our next gathering. This hands-on project allowed us to reflect deeply on our entire literary journey. We shared a rich discussion about our Founding Mothers and Eliza Hamilton, beautifully tying all our previous reads—from My Dear Hamilton through The Invention of Wings and The Movement of Stars—into a single legacy of resilient women. Be sure to join us at our next meeting to see the fully assembled journey quilt in person!
At our next meeting, we officially cross the horizon into our high-energy Summer Reading Era, spanning the 1850s–1870s and themed The Struggle at Home & For the Horizon.

Storytime at the Library

The children made paper bag puppets of George, and each child received a small plastic animal to take home as a special treat. After story time and crafts, they enjoyed delicious cookies baked by Lorraine and Katharine. We hope you and your little ones will join us when Storytime returns in September.
