Kids Author Talk at the Library – 4/11/26

Kids author talk at the Walpole Town Library, Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 11:00 am in the Main Library. Louise discovered her niche in capturing photos that transform into children's books, where tree bark and branches morph into animal characters with distinct personalities. It's her creative tribute to nature, sparking the imaginations of young readers and celebrating the art of storytelling. Join her as she reads from her latest work, "Tree Spirits," answers questions, and shares a take-home craft for kids.

Mud Season Tips from the Walpole Trail Committee

April 2026 Clarion Closing Date – 3/21/26

Yes, work has begun on the next issue of the CLARION – April 2026 – and I already have received four submissions. Will you be next? For your article submissions, and new advertisements the closing date for the April issue is Saturday, March 21 – or earlier if you can. Submission guidelines, and contact email are on the CLARION website.

Your early submissions are always welcome and appreciated as I start developing the layout well beforehand. If you have some “news” send it along. In addition, I like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.

If you have any questions, or interest in placing an advertisement, reaching over 1900 Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville addresses, I welcome your inquiries, so please do get in touch with me. Advertising information and contact information is on the CLARION website.

Thank you, RAY BOAS, Publisher
