Events

Mark your calendars! The Library is participating in National Trails Day! We will be hosting a Bike Rodeo at Center School, in partnership with Parks and Recreation, Airline Cycles, the Police Department, and more. Come learn about bicycle safety, practice your skills on an obstacle course, get your “driver’s” license, take advantage of Summer Reading early registration, and bring home some fun surprises!

This is just one part of a larger event happening for National Trails Day. Additional stations along the Airline Trail between Cranberry Bog and the Village Center will focus on trail safety, stewardship, and more! Collect raffle tickets as you go to each station for the chance to win gift cards to the Village Center shops! Sponsored by East Hampton Public Library.

Through a partnership with Hatch the Chicken, the library is incubating 7 real live chicken eggs, beginning on May 2nd! Stop by to see them and hopefully catch a glimpse of them hatching sometime around May 23rd, then visit the baby chicks before they go back to the farm on June 6th.

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson

"Despite the fact that Australia harbors more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else, including sharks, crocodiles, snakes, even riptides and deserts, Bill Bryson adores the place, and he takes his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond that beaten tourist path. Wherever he goes he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging, and these beaming products of land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine fill the pages of this wonderful book.
Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide." - Penguin Random House
