News from the Librarian 
I am incredibly excited to announce a new program, "Cambridgeport Reads" – a family book group for grades 3-5 and their families! We will be reading "The Last Boy at St. Edith's" written by Lee Gjersten Malone, a Cambridgeport parent of a 5th grader! We will meet twice to discuss the book and will have an event with Lee at the culmination, dates forthcoming. Please look out for more information about this program soon.

Also, the Cambridgeport Library has a wish list on Amazon. Many people have already donated – it has been wonderful! You will find books (of course) on the list, but also supplies that allow for projects and other basic items like tissues and gluesticks. Thank you in advance for considering us! Here's the link >>  

Thank you for your support and happy reading!
