The Hopkinton Public Library has some great programs coming up. Be sure to mark your calendars so as not to miss them and share this list with others.
Discovering New England Stone Walls - Tonight (Wed. 28th) night at 6:30, we are very fortunate to have Kevin Gardner, author of "The Granite Kiss, speak on how and why New England came to acquire its thousands of miles of stone walls, the ways in which they and their dry stone structures were built, how their styles emerged and changed, and their significance to our New England landscape. Kevin is leaving plenty of time for questions and he will be selling/signing books
