Learn the art and tradition of maple sugaring at a hands-on, family-friendly event at Bancroft Memorial Library on Sat., Feb. 28, at 11 a.m., hosted by local historian Kelly Merchant.  

Learn the basics of tapping maple trees, including how to identify suitable trees, when and how tapping is done, and how sap is collected and transformed into delicious maple syrup.
