Unfortunately, Book Sale and Media sale operations have come to a screeching halt and will not resume until the Library is able to function under normal conditions. We seriously regret that the Book Sale Team is unable to accept donations of books or other media at this time. Our storage areas are over full. Let us look forward to a new year when this state of affairs has changed for the better. <br>

<br>
Ruth Breindel (Board member, and recording secretary for the Friends) will be conducting an elementary <span style="font-size:32px;"><em><span style="color:#0000FF;">Ancient Greek </span></em></span>class for interested Friends. This will be a Zoom class online, meeting on Thursday mornings 9-10 AM beginning on September 17th. <br>
If you have ever wanted to learn Ancient Greek - Now’s your chance!<br>
The alphabet can be a challenge at first, but you already know so many of the letters: alpha: beta: gamma: delta: pi: omega: The textbook is Athenaze, Second Edition, Book 1. It’s available used on the web. Don’t buy the workbook – not necessary! This class is free and is sponsored by the Classical Association of New England. Please contact Ruth directly if you are interested: rbreindel@gmail.com</h1>
