And special thanks to the Wayne Fire Department for assisting with safety.
RESULTS:
⇒Thank You to the Wayne Library Community:
Our Silent Auction 2018 finished up Saturday August 11. Our thanks go out to all who donated terrific items and to those who placed such generous bids. With your support we raised just about $6000.00 and welcomed almost 700 people over the 9 days. The Cary Memorial Library owes a great deal to the dedicated Auction Team who work their magic and manage the event: Anna Boynton, Laurel Danforth, Kay Conley, Patti Lawson, Jo Moore, Pat Rochkind and Lynette Stinneford, assisted by the librarian. We also had timely sherpa-type help from Lee Behrendt, Derrill Cowing, and Don Welsh, and tech support from Trustee Mary Jean Cowing. Jean Rocap created and delivered lovely flower arrangements. It takes a village for sure–thanks to all.

⇒Mark Rochkind presents A Summer Program at the library
Mark shares his latest talk, Sri Lanka: An uncommon destination. We always look forward to his travel talks, come and step into a fascinating world.
A 16 day wildlife expedition in Sri Lanka with cultural side trips made for a revealing experience. We saw more than 115 species of birds (including 13 endemics) and a passel of mammals including leopards, elephants, water buffalo, sambar and spotted deer, langur and toque macaque monkeys. We visited archeological sites dating back to 100 BC. Two special Sri Lankan dishes we got to enjoy were “egg hoppers” — an egg cooked in a thin hemispherical crepe, and “curd and treacle” — curd made from water buffalo milk and treacle, a product of the processing of raw sugar. A welcoming country with some tough patches of history.
⇒Bobby Charles introduces his new book to his home town

evergreens” in rural Maine. His enchanting, sometimes arresting, tales convey inspiration from place and people, love of a small town, influence of aging veterans. His stories take readers to unexpected places, often swirl to unexpected endings.
