The Dartmouth Library Foundation presents Murder, Maestro, Please – the 4th Annual Murder Mystery Theatre on Friday, March 19th. The Foundation invites local luminaries to the Southworth Library, provides a fine dinner, with drinks, and then “murders” them…well, one of them, anyways. You have to decide whodunit, with what, and why. Doors open at 6:30 PM with a beer & wine cash bar. Dinner follows at 7:00 PM. and the show starts at 7:30 PM.
Tickets are $30 each, and include dinner/dessert/ and a first class show of crime & punishment. They can be purchased at the Library. The event will be held at The Southworth Library, 732 Dartmouth Street, Dartmouth.
Who let the dogs back in?! The Southworth Library did, that’s who! On every Tuesday in March, Chloe and Sadie, the therapy reading dogs, will be back to hear stories read to them. Bring your child’s favorite book, from home, or choose one of the Library’s titles.
Then curl up with these beautiful, gentle, and well-trained dogs to read and enjoy a book, together. Therapy Dogs International is an organization that trains dogs to work with people in nursing homes, schools, and libraries. They have found that children who are reluctant readers are more enthusiastic, and more proficient when working with the trained dogs.
Sign up for a 20-minute appointment, with either Chloe, or Sadie, between 5:30 and 7:30 PM, from March 2nd to March 30th, by calling 508-999-0726, x385 or x386.
