Veterans' Day Parade (a week early) this Sunday, November 4

The City of Somerville is having a Veterans' Memorial Parade this Sunday, November 4, one week before the holiday it is celebrating. This appears to be a "make-up" of the rain-cancelled Memorial Day parade (which had also been scheduled to occur one week before that holiday).

The parade starts at noon at City Hall, running down Highland Avenue, through Davis Square, and up Holland Street to end in Teele Square (not at the Veterans' Cemetery on Clarendon Hill).

Last day for West Branch Library: Saturday, November 17

The West Branch Library will close for more than a year of renovation and reconstruction starting on November 18. The Library invites all of us to an open house on Saturday, November 17, from 10 am to 1 pm, to give it a proper goodbye.

A small temporary branch will open on the second floor of the TAB building, 167 Holland Street, starting on Monday, December 3. You can pick up or drop off books there. (The book drop at the West Branch will close as well.)
