Log on to Zoom (all link information will be available on the Facebook Event page the morning of the event) and learn how to make a pretty 3D heart by folding the pages of an old book. The process requires an old hardcover book of at least 220 pages in length that you’re ready to recycle (this book is what you will fold into shape), a ruler with centimeters marked on it, a pen or pencil, and patience! Shannon will get you started on the process and you’ll be able to finish on your own time (the entire folding process takes approximately two hours). If you live close to Harris Memorial Library and need a discarded book, we have several in the supply bin by the library door.
Our First Annual (we hope!) Plant Sale to be held Saturday, May 27, 2023, at the Roxbury Library. Our green-thumbed staff and volunteers will have a huge variety of plants, bulbs, gardening books, and gardening supplies for you to browse and buy. See you then!
Mark your calendars for the Annual Silent Auction at the Roxbury Library on Saturday, July 1. Registering and bidding begin at 9:30am; bidding will end at 1:30 and winners announced at 2:00pm. Feel free to stop back during the morning to check your desired items – you can always “up” your bids! Make your bids, get a delicious lunch in the town square, and stop back at 1:30 to see what you’ve won! Our items for this year’s Auction include two fabulous fur coats (one mink, one sable); a 1960s sitar; amazing jewelry; a set of Phaltzgraff dinnerware; a gift certificate for one night at your choice of Tower Cottages at The Roxbury; lovely prints and paintings; antiques and vintage items galore and so much more. This is our most important fundraiser of the year – please plan to spend the morning in beautiful Roxbury AND help keep our library doors open!
Oxford Memorial Library is hosting a Crochet for Charity event. We will be making TwiddleMuffs to donate to local nursing homes and care facilities for people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. If you can knit or crochet, then you are ready for this program. Yarn and other supplies will be available, but feel free to bring your own hooks, needles, or yarn if you want. TwiddleMuffs are sensory handwarmers used to help keep your hands busy when anxious picking or fidgeting can be an issue. Patterns will be available at the event, and you can find them ahead of time on our website, www.oxfordmemoriallibrary.org . If you aren’t able to finish a TwiddleMuff the day of the event they can be returned to the library the following week (10/23-10/28).

Need to de-stress? Miss the fun freedom of coloring as a child? Want to do something creative? If any of these apply to you then we think you would love our Adult Coloring Night at the Oxford Memorial Library!
Studies have found that coloring reduces anxiety, reduces stress, improves brain function, and more! Coloring is also a lot of fun and shouldn’t be just for kids. Come to the Oxford Memorial Library on Wednesday evening May 15th at 5:30pm to relax and have some fun. We will provide coloring sheets, colored pencils, markers, crayons, and light refreshments. If you have an adult coloring book at home or a favorite set of markers feel free to bring them! This is an adult program for ages 16 and older.
