Winterfest/ One Book Kick Off

Beat the Winter Blues-Warm up to Reading!  This popular community social held after-hours at the main library is also the kick-off for the annual “One Book Chelmsford” town-wide reading campaign. The hot blues music of “Kid Pinky and his Restless Knights” will help to warm the evening! Local restaurants and bakeries will provide their best comfort foods -things like macaroni and cheese, chicken pot pie, pot roast or beef stew, chili and cornbread, soups, fried chicken, shepherd’s pie, meat loaf, amercan chop suey, hot dogs and baked beans, spaghetti and meatballs. Warm up with hot chocolate, mulled cider and then finish the meal with comforting desserts! And as in past years, Harrington’s Wines & Liquors will make it possible for us to sell beer and wine. Tickets can be purchased at the library for $15 per person. Watch the donor’s list (on the left of this page) as we list our participating restaurants and vendors.  For this year’s One Book program we will be reading the works of  Geraldine Brooks and Tony Horwitz, both Pulitzer prize-winning authors. (They’ll be visiting Chelmsford on Saturday, May 12^th!) You can pick up their books at this Social!  Check the Library’s website for details on the  One Book program  www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/onebook
