Lots to do at the New Berlin Library this summer

NEW BERLIN – Whether it’s the New Berlin Library’s always popular Summer Reading Program, last month’s Perkins Memorial Concert Series or an upcoming visit by two local authors, there’s always something to do at 15 South Main Street, according to library director Darlene LaBrie.

On Monday, songwriter and guitarist Nan Hoffman took the stage, taking listeners on a journey along the course of history in America through song. Earlier this month, classical guitarist Peter Fletcher performed, both shows sponsored by the Perkins’ family, in memory of Ruso and Jean Perkins.

This month, library patrons will be treated to a pair of presentations by local authors, Lesley Diehl on Aug. 8 and Glenn Nilson on Aug. 22.

Said LaBrie, “We always try to encourage local authors and we always try to have a lot going on at the library.”
