On Wednesday, March 20th, from  6 to 8PM, Fletcher Memorial Library welcomes the new season with High Notes, Big Plans: a Spring Reception, featuring music, both sweet and savory refreshments, a mini back room book sale, and the kickoff for a capital campaign for an expanded event room.

Music will be provided by Bob Oxenhorn on guitar/bass, Ellen Iovino on guitar and vocals, and Hampton resident, Donna Tommelleo on percussion. The group plays a blend of jazz, folk, country, and R & B, a sweet accompaniment for an assortment of treats from Hampton’s notable bakers.

The event will also provide a look at the library’s plans to expand the present sun room into a usable and accessible event space on the ground floor. Currently, the library’s many events are either held up a steep stair case or interfere with access to the fiction stacks on the first floor. “We feel this is essential to our continuing efforts to best serve our community,” said library chairman Anne Christie.

Architectural drawings will be on display and volunteers will be available to answer questions. The library is also in the process of launching a capital campaign which includes a GoFundMe listing where online donations are accepted. Contributions will be most welcome.
