NOTE: Opening events is currently not working properly on some phones. We are hoping to have it fixed soon! In the meantime, check it out on a computer for full access or email aimee.e.holmes@gmail.com for information about a listed event.
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!

Come workshop your Dungeons and Dragons character concept with our knowledgeable, nerdy, D&D playing (and DMing) staff!
At this drop in event, D&D players of all ages will have a chance to workshop a character concept they've been dying to play or bring one of their existing characters in to refine. We will provide assistance and ideas for character concepts, creating or improving backstories, and developing character goals and motivations.
Once you have reviewed your character concept with us, we will help you select a personalized set of approximately 7 gaming dice to match the aesthetic vibe and tactical requirements of your character.
We will also have self guided activities such as drawing your character, creating a dungeon, and there may even be some loot to roll for if you're feeling lucky!

Join a New York State Museum Educator for a fun and interactive walk-through Outcasts: Mary Banning’s World of Mushrooms. Together we’ll explore the colorful mushroom illustrations of Mary Elizabeth Banning, learn about her adventurous spirit, and discover how she followed her curiosity even when science wasn’t always welcoming to women. This guided tour is a great way for families to experience the exhibit, ask questions, and see how mushrooms—often thought of as “outcasts” in nature—can inspire wonder, creativity, and new ways of thinking about the natural world.
