Explore local open spaces by joining a guided tour with a member of the Open Space Committee! We'll have several different hikes for teens and adults of all abilities throughout the summer and fall. Our fourth hike will be at the new Yapp Farm on Marsh Hill Road; we will meet at the trailhead. Please register so we can notify you if anything changes that day. We will leave the trailhead by 6:05pm so please consider arriving early. We also recommend taking measures to prevent tick bites, such as wearing long pants and light-colored clothing, and maybe using bug spray or other repellant. The new trail at Yapp Farm is approximately a ¾ mile trail off Marsh Hill Road between E Richardson and Jones Ave. It is a mildly hilly walk through an old woodlot with views of adjacent wetland and farmlands. Parking is at 650 Marsh Hill Rd. Offered in partnership with the Open Space Committee. https://dracutlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/open-space-hike-yapp-farm-3/

​Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the selected book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books and friends—without any homework? Silent Book Club ® is a global community of readers, with more than 1000 chapters in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in public at bars, cafes, bookstores, libraries, and online to read together in quiet camaraderie for an hour. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not! At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Don't have a book to bring? Don't worry, we're a library! We'll have a few suggestions set out, or you can ask a librarian for personalized recommendations. Our chapter of the Silent Book Club meets the first Monday of the month in the Fireplace Room. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to pick a seat and share what they're reading - or not, there's no requirement to share! 6:30-7:30 is our silent reading hour, and 7:30-8:00 is our optional social time. https://dracutlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/silent-book-club-2/
