How did this happen? I missed May altogether. Actually I have been loving this spring weather and the increased activity at the library. Two sure signs that it is June, however, have arrived at the Gales Ferry Library. The Yale rowers have arrived (with Harvard soon to follow I assume) and it is time for the Gales Ferry Book Sale.
We all enjoy the two weeks or so that the library is full of tall young men from the Ivy League colleges. For those of you that are unfamiliar with a long standing Gales Ferry tradition, the Yale/Harvard Regatta takes place on the Thames River on the second Saturday of June. In years gone by, it was a time for viewing by train and the banks of the Thames crowded with spectators. Crowds have dwindled, but there is always time to start a new tradition and enjoy the race.
Starting this Thursday, June 4, stop by the Gales Ferry Library for the Ledyard Library Friends Book Sale. This annual event, is a great time to stock your shelves with inexpensive finds. There is a great selection of fiction, non-fiction, paperbacks, and miscellaneous media items for both adults and children. Prices start at $2 for hardcover and $1 for paperback and go down over the weekend. Even better bargains will be available the week after. Every book you buy benefits the libraries and you!
Summer reading is almost here, so stay tuned.
