The Stephentown Library Book Discussion Group will meet on Thursday,  June 7 at Noon.  They will discuss the book Maisie Dobbs: a novel by Jacqueline Winspear.

Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence–and the patronage of her benevolent employers–she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.

Group meetings are held in the Community Room at the Library from noon to 1:00  p.m.  Bring a lunch if you like.  Copies of the book are available at the library desk.  New readers are always welcome.  For more information, call 518-733-5750.

Story Time is on Wednesdays at 10 AM in the SML Community Room.

**There will be no Story Time on 6/13, 6/27 or 7/4**

Calling all preschoolers (and their caregivers)!   Join us each Wednesday for some story time fun! In this half-hour session, we read aloud, sing songs, move about, and explore the world around us through literature. Parents and children are encouraged to stay after story time so children have time for free play while grown-ups browse for books and socialize.   Story Time is led by Rebekkah Corbett, a local educator and member of the SML staff.

Registration is encouraged but not required. For more information, stop by the Library or call us at 733-5750.
