On Thursday, May 24 at 7 PM in the SML Community Room, we will show the documentary film, Small Farm Rising.
Right now, in our back yards, a new generation of farmers are redefining agriculture in America. Small, modern, sustainable and rooted in the community, these local farms are in the forefront of a movement growing across the nation. A family owned and operated farm produces award-winning goat milk cheeses; a farm powered solely by horses provides members with a full diet year-round; and two youthful entrepreneurs run an organic vegetable farm.
Small Farm Rising invites you to explore the sustainable practices, creative business models and deep connections to the communities of these three small farms in the shadow of the Adirondack Mountains. Experience one full growing season through the eyes of first-generation farmers as they enrich and enliven their rural environments.
After the film, there will be ample time for discussion, led by Thom Pecoraro – Director of the Wyomanock Center. Refreshments will be served.

The Stephentown Library Book Discussion Group will meet on Thursday, June 7 at Noon. They will discuss the book Maisie Dobbs: a novel by Jacqueline Winspear.
Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence–and the patronage of her benevolent employers–she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.
Group meetings are held in the Community Room at the Library from noon to 1:00 p.m. Bring a lunch if you like. Copies of the book are available at the library desk. New readers are always welcome. For more information, call 518-733-5750.
"Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest."
