Update (9/21/25): Mine works again after updating my phone to iOS 26. Please let me know if it’s still not working for you!
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!

Caldwell-Lake George Library

Are your ancestors lost, invisible or misbehaving? Sooner or later every genealogist seems to hit a dead end in their research.

On the first and third Thursday of each month from 1:00-2:30pm, Caldwell-Lake George Library will offer genealogy help. This is an informal drop-in, one-on-one meeting to discuss ways to overcome or move around problems in researching ancestors. We do not do genealogical research for you, but our experienced volunteers will suggest ways and sources to help you find answers. We can also help if you are using a database like Ancestry or Family Search and need a little insight on how it works.
