WOODSTOCK – Sarah Wright will speak on the Indians of Peru, South America, at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8, at the Whitman Memorial Library.

Among her topics will be a group of women who have lost their homes in the rain forest. They are now making tapestries depicting the way of life in Peru and selling them, and they have become self-supportive. There is no charge and light refreshments will be served.

A new trustee, Sonja Davis, who is filling out Frank Campbell’s term, was welcomed at a board meeting.

Librarian Althea Hathaway reported that someone had donated a box of videos, books and books on tape. Robert Van Waes has donated a copy of “Maine Folks and Maine Ways.” The Libra Foundation, which provides grants to small libraries, has sent a copy of “Raising Readers, Five stories from Maine,” a children’s book.

The October program about the Grand Trunk Railways was well attended. John Ames was ill and unable to attend, so John Davis of South Paris and Lenwood Andrews of South Woodstock took care of the program.

The latest improvement is a ramp for access to the downstairs room.

The library will take part in the Oxford Hills One Book/One Community program again this year.

The board meeting dates for 2008 will be at 2:30 p.m. the first Thursdays in January, April, June and October. The meetings are open to the public.

The library is open from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and 1:30 to 7 p.m. Thursdays. For more information, call 665-2505.

Most recent books at the library are: “The Parting,” Lewis; “When Morning Comes,” Woodsmall; “Water for Elephants,” Gruen; “Name Dropping,” Heller; “A Clearing in the Wild,” Kirkpatric; “Just Beyond the Clouds,” Kingsbury; “The Choice,” Sparks; and “High Noon,” Roberts.
