Library Summer Programs

The South Thomaston Library kicks off its summer programming this Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 1:00pm. This weekly class is free and lots of fun. We welcome and thank Jayne Moon for providing this Wednesday, activity for seniors…
“Age Like a Sage” (ALAS) boosts brain health through memory exercises, gentle movement, breathing, stress management, and fun cognitive games. It’s perfect for anyone wanting sharper memory, mild cognitive impairment support, or simply enjoyable socialization.

Starting in July, Kid’s Art returns on Tuesdays 2-4pm in the Maker Space. Supplies and guidance will be provided.

Thank you,
Pennie Alley
