Tea Time Display
Two library employees, June Hawkes and Barbara Keef, combined their collections and talents to bring us the current display of tea items at the library. More than a dozen matching cups and saucers, an assortment of delicate tea spoons, a miniature tea set, and other items are in the exhibit case. The cup and saucer sets on display are from June’s collection. Some were collected when she and her husband, Dick, traveled, while others had belonged to her mother. Barbara, along with Laurel T. Parker, co-hosts the regularly scheduled “Tea for You @ the Library” program, which is free for anyone in the community to attend. Stop by the library for a look at this fun display. The Windham Public Library is located at 217 Windham Center Road in Windham. For more information, library hours, or directions, call the library at 892-1908.
