■The next BookEnds BookGroup will meet July 10 at 3 p.m. with “Broken: A Love Story” by Lisa Jones. Writer Lisa Jones went to Wyoming for a four-day magazine assignment. She was committed to a long-term relationship, building a career, and searching for something she could not name. At a dusty corral on the Wind River Indian Reservation, she met Stanford Addison, a Northern Arapaho who seemed to transform everything around him. He gentled horses rather than breaking them. It was said he could heal people of everything from cancer to bipolar disorder. He did all this from a wheelchair; he had been a quadriplegic for more than twenty years.

■Another Little Free Library was installed recently by Peter Anderson and Gary Young, this time on the lawn of Cafe One East and it is managed by Peter. This and the red one at NHTM are both registered in the nation-wide Little Free Library Book-Sharing Network. LittleFreeLibrary.org. How it works: “Take one, Leave one.” Anyone may take a book, but then you are encouraged to add a book you are finished reading to replace the one you are taking. Books for children are encouraged, too. There is no extra place to store additional books so please only replace what you take. Join the fun and think about what your neighbors may like to read!
