The Friday Night Supper Club of the Stockton Springs Community Library will host the 3rd Annual Kitchen to Table International Buffet at the library on Saturday, July 14th starting at 6 pm.

For the third year, this past winter and spring gourmet Chef Jerry Dunn led a cookbook club at the Stockton Springs Community Library that became known as the Friday Night Supper Club. We invited daring and innovative cooks to challenge themselves to prepare international cuisine from cookbooks that reflected unique regional and healthy dishes as well as regional culture. The supper club members volunteered to produce a third international buffet to benefit the library.

The buffet will include: appetizers, soup, entrees, vegetables and dessert and will feature a variety of dishes from around the world. Tickets are $35. The event is BYOB.

Tickets will be available for advance purchase at the library during open hours beginning June 18th.

Come enjoy our new gazebo

The library received a most generous gift from a seasonal Stockton Springs resident.  We now have a Gazebo sitting on our grounds. The donor was inspired to do this by seeing an old picture of this  property with a gazebo on it. The finishing touches will include a ramp and electricity. Thank you!

The community is most welcome to enjoy sitting, reading, talking  or just relaxing on our new Gazebo!
