Story Time

Reading aloud to children is one of the best things you can do for their development. Not only is it fun, but it is also a bonding experience that can impact their literacy skills, emotional well-being, and love of reading. Studies have shown that children who know more words when they enter kindergarten tend to read better and have higher academic achievement throughout school. Children who are read to more often are exposed to more new words and develop a more robust understanding of language. A 2019 study by The Ohio State University found that young children whose parents read to them five times daily will hear nearly 1.5 million more words by the time they turn five than children who were not read to at all. This is known as the “million-word gap. – United Through Reading website.
Abbott Library encourages families to join staff members for our weekly storytimes each Wednesday at 10 AM. Participants hear stories, sing songs, and create a craft.

Cosy Sheridan has been called “one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singer/songwriters” She first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992 when she won the songwriting contests at The Kerrville Folk Festival and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Since then she has released 10 cds, written a one-woman-show and her music has appeared in books and film. She has taught songwriting, guitar and performance workshops at music camps for the past 15 years, including The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and The Swannanoa Gathering. She is the director of The Moab Folk Camp in Moab, Utah.
“Her user-friendly musical philosophy sets her happily apart from the myopic, self-involved songwriters… she is a wonderfully lively, very funny and enormously amiable entertainer with a keen and wicked eye for the excesses of our fast-food, tv-happy and noisome culture.” – The Boston Globe
“A Buddhist monk in a 12-step program trapped in the body of a singer/songwriter.” – The Albuquerque Journal
“Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses myth with modern culture, Persephone with Botox.” – Cornell Folksong Society

I am a New England singer and multi-instrumentalist, playing woodwinds, keyboards, and guitar. My Dad is an accomplished jazz drummer and was quite the influence on me when I was young. I also listen to and enjoy older and popular tunes. Being raised on such an incredible diversity of music, I am passionate about many different genres. I studied woodwinds with Peter Marino, Arthur Mirable, and attended Belisle Music School. Some of the bands I’ve played with are, Rockin Daddy, Blue Therapy, Classic Invasion, A&P Project, and also Bruce Marshal, and Jon Butcher. In my “free” time, I teach woodwinds and repair band instruments.

Redcoats and Rebels
2026-07-23 19:00 - 20:30 | Flanders-Osborne Museum, 74 Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782
Mary Adams, from NH Historical Society, will tell the story of New Hampshire’s often unsung contributions to our independence.
All events are free and at the Flanders-Osborne Museum in Sunapee Harbor unless noted otherwise.
New Hampshire often gets overlooked in the narrative of the American Revolution, overshadowed by its noisy neighbor to the south. Nowadays, few people know about Paul Revere’s first ride, which was to Portsmouth in December 1774 to warn the patriots that the British were coming to reinforce Fort William and Mary, five months before the Redcoats marched on Concord and Lexington. Nor do they know that two-thirds of the troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill were from New Hampshire. Most people are also unaware that New Hampshire’s Provincial Congress adopted the first state constitution in January 1776, making no mention of royal authority and essentially declaring independence from Great Britain six months before anyone else. And this is just the beginning of New Hampshire’s revolutionary story.
