⇒Book and Brown Bag-Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
“A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature….Owens here surveys the desolate marshlands of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And in her isolation that child makes us open our own eyes to the secret wonders—and dangers—of her private world.”—The New York Times Book Review
Bring your lunch and join in this friendly book group. We want to hear from you. We meet in the Safford Room of the Library. NOTE: The library has only one print copy and one audiobook to loan, please plan accordingly.

p.m. Everyone is welcome.
It’s a celebration to Welcome Back Alice and to wish Happy Birthday to Grace Burleigh, the generous donor of the Alice in Wonderland Room. Grace will attend and you can wish her Happy 100th birthday!
Progress has
been made in the ongoing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Room project.The art panel
depicting Alice has completed the conservation steps and is back in
Wayne. The refreshed, restored and protected Alice will appear at the
Open House. Alice is the first of 17 panels to be conserved.
The funding campaign
is underway; we are grateful for generous initial results and for the first
four grants filed for consideration. Construction tasks at the carriage barn
have started with more visible activity to appear soon.
As part of the
exciting project to recreate the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Room at the
Williams House carriage barn, Jann Haynes Gilmore, a member of the Mad Hatters
Committee and formerly on the staff of the National Endowment for the
Humanities, spent the winter researching and writing a 65-page book on the
Alice phenomenon in cultural history. Of keen interest is the detailed account
of how the Alice Room and its artist, Alfred T. Merian, came to Wayne, Maine.The
limited edition book will be available for purchase at $18.00 beginning in
early June at the Cary Library and the Williams House with all proceeds going
to the Alice project. Jann is a well-known Wayne summer resident and her
scores of paintings of Wayne homes, sites and scenes grace the walls of many
local families’ homes.
