Come enjoy a brief history of maple mania in New England.

All materials referenced in this program are included, so fret not if your site does not have access to a live maple…we’ll have a limb to practice on and a drop sheet to catch the mess! Maple flavored refreshments will served. This program is sponsored in part by the Friends of the Library.
