community memory vault
This project will engage with long-time residents to capture memories about the “early days” of Deep River and Area. It is a fun and easy way for our seniors and elders to “give back” to this community by sharing their knowledge / memories about this area and its unique history!
Here’s how it works: Each week, we will email participants a question about the “early days” in Deep River and area. Questions are designed to be fun and trigger memories! Participation is easy: all you have to do is hit “reply” to our emails and share your memories with us. This would be a great project for grandkids and grandparents or children and parents to work on together.
Your reply can be as short as a few sentences, or as long as you like If you don’t feel like answering a question, then you can simply choose not to reply that week. Also, you can unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
Memories will be compiled into a ‘living book’ of memories that grows with time. The library will make this ‘living book’ available to current and future generations to inform our collective understanding of our area’s early history. Please, help us add YOUR family’s chapter!

Sewcial CLub
Join us in the upstairs sitting area to mend things you love, alter things to fit better and learn hand sewing skills. We will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month 6:30-8pm. Bring an item from home that needs repair.
We will have a selection of materials and sewing supplies on hand as well as a volunteer, experienced in many mending techniques, who can help you make a plan.
Mending helps minimize the demand for new garments, saving water, energy, and raw materials. You’re also diverting textiles away from landfills by giving them a renewed life.
This is a free drop in program. Starting back up on February 17, 2026.
