Come to the library to get your own copy of the book but whether you read the book or not you are most welcome at this event. On Sept. 4th. the author of the book, Ray Raphael will come to Lunenburg to provide us with an in-depth talk on this historical event when people in Worcester County said NO!! to the entire Bristish government and their rule of the American colonies.

Lunenburg Library Page, Jeffrey Dike, is off to the Wentworth Institute of Technology in the fall. The staff at the Lunenburg Public Library knows he will be sorely missed by all, especially our library users. Just as the school year was ending, Jeffrey found himself with eight different awards that all attest to what we at the library already knew – this is an exceptional young man! His awards include:
The Rozy Bracani Memorial Scholarship, given by LCU
Leominster Lodge of Elks Scholarship
Priscilla Eisner Scholarship Award, given by JA PTO
LHS Blue Devil Award
Renaissance Award
United Way Youth Venture Scholarship Award
Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution Scholarship
National Honor Society Scholarship
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish Jeffrey all the best in this next phase of his life and thank him wholeheartedly for the hard work he has put into the Lunenburg Public Library.
