Story Time
2026-09-09 10:00 - 11:00 | Abbott Library, 11 Soonipi Circle, Sunapee, NH, 03782-2925, United States
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.

2026-05-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Lake Sunapee United Methodist Church, 9 Lower Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782
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

Rupert Wates was born in London and studied at Oxford University. He has been a full time songwriter since the late 1990s, when he signed a publishing contract with Eaton Music Limited. His contract required him to write material in all kinds of styles and genres, for all kinds of artists. He worked extensively with Jazz vocalist Liz Fletcher, and wrote the album ‘Blue Afternoons’ (Mainstem, 2002) specially for her voice. Moving in 2001 to Paris, Wates formed his own quartet and began playing live regularly. In fall 2006 he came to the US. He is now based in New York City and Colorado.
Since coming to the US, Wates has won more than 30 songwriting awards.
His music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. He has released seven solo CDs. They have been very well reviewed in the online press and tracks from them have been played on radio all over the world. Wates’ songs have been recorded by other artists in the UK, Canada and the US. In 2015, Nashville-based performer Roxie Rogers released Crazy Puzzle, an album of songs from Wates’ back catalog
Despite Wates’ British background, and underpinning the universality of his music’s appeal, Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange has called him “a prime figure in American music” and goes on: “This is one gifted sonofabitch… If you’re not hip to this guy yet you’re missing out.”
Audiences everywhere respond to Wates’ brand of melodic art/folk—haunting songs that ring true.

﻿Group Hike at Ledge Pond, Sunapee
2026-04-20 10:00 - 12:00 | Sunapee, NH
Earth Day is celebrated in April each year (April 15th), and to kick off the week, Ausbon Sargent is planning a walk at Ledge Pond in Sunapee. Along with the Sunapee Conservation Commission, we will hike the Ledge Pond trails with no specific agenda or topic. This will be a great way to get outside and hike with a group.
Please note: this hike is weather-dependent. If the trails are too muddy, we will need to postpone and plan for another day. We do not want to damage the trails during a sensitive time of year (also, it is no fun walking in mud!).
This hike is free and open to all, but registration is required. Please sign up HERE.
Questions? Contact Sarah at: sarah@ausbonsargent.org or call the office at: 603-526-6555

Thomas Strayhorn
2026-04-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Lake Sunapee United Methodist Church, 9 Lower Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782
Thomas Strayhorn is a Portland, Maine based singer-songwriter originally from the piedmont of North Carolina. “His simple melodies draw from folk but veer toward alt-country, likely thanks to Strayhorn’s brassy twang. They’re adorned with little more than bare-bones arrangements (think: Joe Pug or Langhorne Slim), but Strayhorn’s songs tell stories that unfold poetically and genuinely…” – Patrick Wall.
“The push-and-pull is almost palpable… His lyrics capture ‘the conflicting emotions of having so many reasons to stay somewhere but still wanting to leave.’” — Madeline Crone

Easter Egg Hunt
2026-04-04 12:00 - 12:30 | Sunapee Harbor, Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782-2925, United States

Kevin Connolly
2026-03-27 19:00 - 21:00 | Lake Sunapee United Methodist Church, 9 Lower Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782
Kevin Connolly has been in and out of trouble with words, music, and the truth for over two centuries. Raised on raw clams and sarcasm from the mud flats of the Irish Riviera south of Boston, he’s been making noise—often musical, sometimes poetic, occasionally questionable—for most of his life. He’s written 324 songs, 132 poems, made thirteen albums, two children, and approximately 1,213 friends, depending on the day.
For over thirty years, Connolly has carved out his own way of writing American songs—blending roots, folk, rock, and stubborn Boston charm. Somewhere between John Prine’s storytelling, Lucinda Williams’ grit, and John Hiatt’s ragged charm, you’ll find Connolly—narrating the world through worn characters, backdoor confessions, and an occasional punchline
