Share Your Story
Join us at the library on Saturday, November 14 at 10 a.m. and Share Your Story!
Storytelling is a fun and casual way to share stories about our lives. It is a time when we come together, reminisce, share a story and listen. One goal of the program is to help us record our memories for our loved ones.
Please join us for coffee and donuts with Danvers storytellers Barney Argo, Joan Vititoe, and others and get ideas how to get started recording your memories!
Please register with the library at danvers.tl.rsa@gmail.com, call 309-963-4269, or stop by the library.

Fire Cider Workshop
Hydrangea House Herbs is back at the library on Tuesday, November 17th at 6 p.m. to teach us how to make your own Fire Cider with traditional and non-traditional ingredients.
While you're crafting Fire Cider, there will be an elderberry syrup demo as well. A small jar of elderberry syrup is yours to take home. Fire Cider and elderberry syrup have long been used as preventative remedies that boost the immune system. They are taken in small doses every day to help keep you healthy all year long.
We seem to reach for them more this time of year, which is why you tend to hear more about them as the summer ends and fall begins. We will discuss other folk remedies as well.
This class for adults costs $5/person and covers all your materials. Please register with the library at danvers.tl.rsa@gmail.com, call 309-963-4269, or stop by the library.
