Bedford Public Library

Join us to commemorate and reflect upon the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with a film screening and discussion!
Together, we’ll watch a short excerpt from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a new film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, followed by a community discussion moderated by award-winning history teacher David Alcox. The featured segment from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION,“The Spirit of Service,” explores service as a core American value, from the nation’s founding through to the present day – examining volunteerism, civic participation, public leadership, and more. Davd will guide thoughtful conversations about “remembering together,” considering questions such as:
<ul><li>What moments from our past define who we are and point to a shared future?</li><li>What are the key historical moments in Bedford’s history?</li><li>How does focusing on these moments shape your sense of your community’s future?</li></ul>


Big Watch programs are made possible by a partnership between New Hampshire Humanities and New Hampshire PBS, with support from Cogswell Benevolent Trust.&nbsp;This event is open to all, but registration is required. Please visit the link or call (603) 472-2300 to sign up.

The Craftworkers’ Guild Harvest Craft Shop
Handmade. Local. Heartfelt.
The Craftworkers’ Guild is proud to open its 101st season with the return of our annual Harvest Craft Shop, open from Thursday, September 17th through Monday, October 12th. Join us at the historic Kendall House, located behind the Bedford Library, Thursday through Sunday each week, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
This year’s Harvest Shop features the work of nearly 50 local Guild member artisans and craftspeople, showcasing a rich variety of handmade goods — from timeless New England traditions to fresh, modern designs.
“As we open this year’s Harvest Shop, we’re thrilled to highlight what lies at the very core of our mission: work that is handmade, local and deeply heartfelt,” says Carol Davis, President of The Craftworkers’ Guild. “Every piece in the shop tells a story of dedicated local artistry, offering our community a personal connection to the craft that simply can’t be replicated.”
Shoppers will find a curated selection of locally made, juried crafts, with something for everyone — from stocking stuffers to large art pieces, including seasonal décor, photography, fine art and prints, cards, woodworking, textiles, pottery, fiber arts, sewn and knitted items, candles, jewelry, glass, and more. Many items are one-of-a-kind, perfect for gifts or treating yourself.
Proceeds help support the Guild’s ongoing arts education initiatives in the community, continuing our mission to inspire creativity for the next generation of artists and makers.
Stay connected and get a sneak peek at featured items by visiting www.thecraftworkersguild.org, or follow us on Instagram (@craftworkersguild), Twitter/X (@craftworker), and Facebook.
