Depths of Discovery Gala: bit.ly/4tWaVwH The City of Vergennes regulates the parking lot behind the Bixby Library. Per the signage posted in the parking lot, on the Bixby’s page, and on the Bixby Website: "Overnight Winter Parking: 8pm - 7am. Cars left in lot after 7am will be towed at the owners’ expense. Effective December

1 - March 31. - City of Vergennes.” This allows the library to have the parking lot plowed in time to open to staff, volunteers, and the public without cars in their way.

❤️ A Story of Connection at June’s Bixby Book Club ❤️

Looking for a great conversation and a memorable read? Join us at the Bixby Library on Tuesday, June 9 from 6–7 PM as we discuss “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” by Carson McCullers.

Published when the author was only 23 years old, this novel tells the story of John Singer, a deaf man living in a small Southern town. Though he says very little, people from all walks of life are drawn to his quiet presence and understanding nature. A café owner, a spirited young girl, a frustrated doctor, and an outspoken drunk each find themselves confiding in Singer, sharing their dreams, disappointments, and hopes.

A tender, thought-provoking, and deeply human debut novel, “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” explores loneliness, connection, and the ways we search for understanding in one another.

All readers are welcome, whether you’ve finished the book, are just getting started, or simply want to join the conversation. New participants are always encouraged to join!

📚 Need a copy? Stop by the circulation desk or email Martha at [email protected] to reserve yours.
