We barely scratched the surface at the History Chat “Bars, Bakeries and Bodegas” at the Westfield Athenaeum so we are continuing the topic this month! Do you have memories of the corner store, a bakery, a tavern or bar? We will bring some tavern and store ledgers for you to see. Come tell your story, bring a picture, postcard or letter and help us capture Westfield’s history! Wednesday, November 6, at 2:00 p.m. Elizabeth Reed Room. Call 413-568-7833 with any questions or visit www.westath.org.

November is Food for Fines at the Westfield Athenaeum! Help your community and start the New Year fresh by making a donation of unexpired canned or boxed goods at the Library and we will forgive up to $10 of fines. (Cannot be applied towards billed items or another library’s fine) All donations will benefit the Food Pantry of Westfield. Please call 413-568-7833 with any questions or visit www.westath.org.

Have you danced the night away with the party band Emotion? Come hear the acoustic duo from that band, made up of Ric Tereso and Amy Tosi. They have a vast repertoire including classic rock, country and pop music from the past five decades. Free and open to the public, join us for this first Thursday concert on November 7 at 1:00 pm in the Lang Auditorium at the Westfield Athenaeum 6 Elm Street, Westfield. www.westath.org or 413-568-7833.
