Christmas in July
It’s Christmas in July! Plumb Library will once again be collecting non-perishable items and pet food in lieu of fines from July 9 to 21.

Bring your canned goods to the library, give the librarian your name and they’ll waive your fines. This does not cover lost book costs, or copying, fax or lost card fees.

All items will be donated to Damien’s Pantry in Wareham.  Pet food items will go to animal shelters in Rochester and Fairhaven.

Café Parlez Book Club
The Café Parlez’ selection for July is "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" by Alan Bradley.

This winner of the 2009 Agatha Award for best first novel introduces us to eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, aspiring chemist, detective and all-around know-it-all.

The group will discuss the book on Thursday, July 26 at 6:30 p.m.

Books are available at the desk, or bring your own copy.

This is a special July book group with trivia quizzes and free book giveaways.
