Saturday was a dreary, wet day. Thanks to the generosity of the Creative Hub, we were able to use the hall and moved forward, despite the poor weather, with our first Como Library Yard Sale!

Sincere thanks to every one who was generous with donations which were very much appreciated. And thank you to those who came by to visit, buy an item or more and enjoy a cup of coffee at our Pine Tree Café.

We did well and are looking forward to adding even more new books to our shelves soon.

Happy Reading!

With Louise Penny – We just made it onto their weekly engagement list by being one of their top engagers! 🎉

01/10/2026

We held our first
“Pine Tree Café” this morning. It was attended by many of our wonderful patrons—it was lovely to relax and chat with them over delicious refreshments. We served, Gamache Coffee and Gamache Butter tarts, along with tea and cookies. We hope that at our next event, many more come to visit, borrow a book and enjoy the camaraderie.

Our idea for holding these Cafés came from Louise Penny’s Three Pines Café, which opened this year in Knowlton. Our Como Lending Library volunteers plan to visit her café soon and we are hopeful that she may visit ours in return.

Next date for The Pine Tree Café is Saturday, February 7th. The treats will be chocolate and the books displayed may be along the Romance genre!
