This month we've been reading The Correspondent by Virginia Evans as part of the We Read Together program with Peabody and Churubusco libraries. Join us Thursday at 5:30 p.m. for a program that reflects upon the art of letter writing and then write a letter to the person of your choice. We'll provide the stationery, envelope and stamps along with some light refreshments. Make a memory for a loved one by dropping them a line.
