Mark your calendars and check your bookshelves and closets for books to bring to the Leading Ladies' annual book swap to support area literacy programs. Fiction and non-fiction published since 2000; cookbooks from any era in good condition; jigsaw puzzles with all pieces. If you need a pickup, let us know. Otherwise, hold on to them until the end of summer. The swap date is Saturday, Sept 9; location is the side yard of the Book Shop of Beverly Farms. We are planning a story hour for kids this year too!⁠

A panel discussion featuring experts who deal with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors around issues of loneliness, particularly during the winter season.
