We have a new calendar! We’re experimenting with including free cultural and educational events at other local and regional libraries, museums, and non-profits. We hope a compilation of these great events will be a valuable resource for our community. Click on the categories above the calendar to limit the results by drive time from the Bolton Free Library. Be sure to check the hosting organization’s website for schedule changes and cancellations. Note that some of the events at and within 10 minutes of our library are not free; these are denoted with a “($)” and costs are included in those descriptions.
Check back often for updates and let us know what you think!

Registration required: Lake George Land Conservancy
Help count birds for this nation-wide Audubon program, organized locally by the LGLC on Sunday, December 14. The CBC is a winter bird census with over 100 years of community science involvement.
Our 15-mile circle includes Amy’s Park in Bolton south to Pilot Knob Preserve in Fort Ann, and the Schroon River in Warrensburg east to Sleeping Beauty and Black Mt in Dresden.
Volunteers may choose to survey routes by foot, car, or boat, or watch a feeder, and submit bird counts as well as weather conditions and hours to the LGLC, which then provides all of the compiled information to Audubon.

This program brings together artist and researcher Carter King (Oneida Nation) and KarenLyne Hill (Onondaga Nation) to reflect on the history and meaning of the shawl associated with Polly Cooper—an Oneida woman whose courage and compassion aided George Washington’s starving troops at Valley Forge in 1778.
Through perspectives on Indigenous material culture, costume design, and family heritage, King and Hill will illuminate how this textile bridges centuries of history, gratitude, and sovereignty. The shawl, currently featured in George Washington: An American Paradox, serves as a profound testament to Oneida contributions to the founding of the United States.
