It’s Take Your Child to the Library Day! To celebrate, we’re running a special two-day event where you can win a free book to keep! Look around the library and find books and objects that match a box. Fill five boxes in a row and get a bingo.  

Just present your completed bingo sheet and a library card in order to get your free book. Don’t have a card? Bring your grownup and their ID with an Orange address and we can sign you up! If you live outside of Orange, you’re welcome to join us- just bring the library card from your home town library. One book per child, available while supplies last, no registration required.

Which side are you on?  That’s the question that every single person in Connecticut had to answer in 1775, as the thirteen colonies began a rebellion against British rule.  Loyalty was not only a matter of words or opinion.  For soldiers and civilians alike, loyalty could mean loss of fortune, of friends, and even of life.  This presentation reveals stories — some well-known, some obscure — of Nutmeggers who risked and sacrificed to support their chosen side.

Annie O’Brien will take us into this momentous, dangerous, and controversial time in our history.  She is a Museum Educator at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.  She develops and teaches educational programs for school and adult audiences.  Ms. O’Brien formerly worked as a classroom teacher in the Avon Public School District and as a historic interpreter at The Mark Twain House and Museum.  She holds a B.A. in Education from Miami University and an M.A. in Holistic Learning from The Graduate Institute of CT.

Registration is required to receive the link for this Zoom event.
