Week 88 3/9/17
On this cold day we decided on an indoor adventure. Neither of us had been inside the new Millis Public Library so we headed there first. We ran into several people we knew, looked at the beautiful and functional space which is well-organized and light. They have many community programs and meetings.
In the meeting room was an art exhibit. The drawings of these anthropoids are all life-size.
Next stop was an old library, the Bacon Free Library in South Natick. This small library is in it's original building and is very cozy and welcoming. I'd been there before and had conversations with the staff.
The Natick Historical Society museum downstairs was closed but I knocked on the door and we were let in. We had a nice chat with one of the curators.
Here Paul looks at a baseball from a factory in town which no longer exists.
We saw display cases focused on Horatio Alger who was born in this town, as well as Henry Wilson who was a Vice President of the United States. There were cases for some of the newer luminaries of Natick as well.
The library director here is great. She set up many book clubs, exhibits and events including an annual original art auction. The cupcakes are from an earlier visit when she hosted a reception for children's book illustrators.
