Goodnow Library 150th Grand Finale

Children will be invited to personalize a 150th anniversary memento to add to a time capsule before it is sealed.

Goodnow Library in Sudbury is holding its 150th grand finale event on Saturday, Dec. 14, from 2-5 p.m.

The program will kick off with two simultaneous events:

  • Local children’s author Dara Goldman will read from her new holiday book, "Boris and Stella and the Perfect Gift";
  • Goodnow Library Director Esme Green will present the 150th Celebration Oral History video, featuring approximately 20 local luminaries recounting their memories of the library and Sudbury.
At 2:45 p.m., everyone will gather in the Historical Study to seal the library’s 25-year time capsule. Children will be invited to personalize a 150th anniversary memento to add to the capsule before it is sealed.

The program will conclude with a talk by WCVB-TV "Chronicle" correspondent Ted Reinstein, who will discuss his new travel book, "New England Notebook: One reporter, six states, uncommon stories."
