March  1, 4:30 pm, Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time – Presented by the Vermont Coverts, this film explores the life and legacy of famed conservationist Aldo Leopold (A Sand County Almanac) and his land ethic philosophy. GREEN FIRE explores his personal journey of observation and understanding. It reveals how his ideas resonate with people across the entire American landscape, from inner cities to the most remote wild lands. The film challenges viewers to contemplate their own relationship with the land. A pot luck dinner will follow the film. Everyone is welcome.

March 2, 7:00 pm, Library Board Meeting – Meetings are open to the public. 

March 3, TOWN MEETING – Please support the Library’s request for an appropriation from the town. Our public library, free and open to all who enter, is always in the top percentile in terms of usage of our programs and services per capita compared to other libraries throughout the state. By contrast, we are in a very low percentile when looking at the amount of local appropriation we receive from the town. We ask the voters of Peacham to consider the library’s central place in our community, both as a vital utility and as a place for pure enjoyment. This increase in our appropriation amounts to an investment on the part of the voters of Peacham, and w.ill allow us to sustain and grow our services now and into the future. Read our full request letter here.

March 3, TOWN MEETING – The library will open after the conclusion of Town Meeting.
