I have always loved to read, ever since I belonged to the Nancy Drew Book Club and I couldn’t wait for that new edition to be mailed to me as quick as author Carolyn Keene (the pseudonym of the authors of the Nancy Drew mystery stories and The Dana Girls mystery stories), could churn another one out. So I am happy that we have a great reading establishment in our village, the Montgomery Book exchange.

On Saturday (8/10) come and enjoy music, coffee, tea and light snacks at the Montgomery Books Exchange’s Acoustic Sessions. Musicians, sign up and share your talent. There is a $5 admission at the door.
