It’s the name of a gravel road\, the address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin\, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. \nTo say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well\, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. \nCABIN is the story of those renovations\, but it’s also a love story; of a place\, of possibilities\, and of the process of construction\, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew\, or who desperately wish to. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - May 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfmay26/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260604T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260604T140000 DTSTAMP:20260428T042334 CREATED:20260226T183001Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T183001Z UID:54327-1780578000-1780581600@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Mystery Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual Zoom discussion of A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters.

From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico\, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena\, assertive Octavia\, curious Kali\, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple ‘sleights of hand’ to get food.  \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - July 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfjuly26/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260728T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260728T193000 DTSTAMP:20260428T042334 CREATED:20251020T182309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260129T204430Z UID:53311-1785263400-1785267000@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Discussion DESCRIPTION:Join us at the library for a discussion of:\nThe Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali    \nCopies of the book are available at the library. \nOrder your own copy HERE \nIf you are interested in attending\, please contact Graziella at glesellier@minlib.net \nThe historic nature of our building limits accessibility. \nThis program is also offered in an accessible location at the Morse Institute Library.
