Dear Patron,
October brings peak foliage, Fryeburg Fair and frost on the pumpkins. It's time to work up the cord wood or top up the fuel tank. Get out the sweaters, coats and warm quilts. The days are much shorter now, so stock up on good reads, entertaining films, music, puzzles and audios at your library. We look forward to recommending or procuring the materials you want and putting them into your hands.
