Join the library at Water Street Kitchen on Saturday, December 6, for “Books & Bubbles” from 12-3 p.m. An attractive, curated selection of used books will be available for purchase, along with festive drinks. For every drink sold, Water Street Kitchen will donate $1 to the library, so shoppers are encouraged to embrace the festive atmosphere and enjoy a glass of bubbles! Water Street Kitchen will also offer a generous gift card promotion. For every $100 gift card purchased, you will receive an additional $20. A merry, convivial atmosphere can always be found at this annual event, where shoppers can get a good start on their holiday shopping and visit with friends at the same time. During library hours, don’t forget to stop by the ongoing “Book Sale” in the library’s lower level! With a selection of new publications and collectible, rare titles, there is truly something to delight every reader. It’s a great place to find that perfect gift for that loved one who already has it all! The library is pleased to announce its 2025 Holiday Pottery Raffle, continuing a beloved tradition of more than two decades of partnering with local artisans to bring beautiful and functional works of pottery to the community. This year’s raffle features a selection of unique pieces donated by Ann Newbury, Anne Halpin, Susan Nowogrodzki, Tessa Morgan, and Anju Rajani. Tickets for the raffle, which are $2 for one ticket and $5 for three tickets, are available at the library at 581 Woods Hole Road. Drawing of the winning tickets will be held on December 10. All in the community are invited to purchase chances to win handsome mugs, beautiful bowls, an elegant serving dish, a whimsical dog treat jar, a generously sized batter bowl, or a playful rabbit figurine. These handcrafted works will be on display at the library through the raffle drawing date, giving patrons and supporters the chance to admire them up close before purchasing raffle tickets. The library encourages the public to visit these generous artists at their studios and support them, just as the potters have done for the library.
