Pick up an original Vineyard Bingo board at the Chilmark Library and play for prizes Jan. 23.

As chairman of Chilmark library trustees for 17 years, Norman Freed helped transform one of the smallest libraries on the Island into a hub for community events and a more welcoming place for kids and teens. Now he is stepping down.
The Chilmark library offers a nearly monthlong book sale just in time for the holidays and maybe a snowy night of reading. The sale continues every day until noon on Dec. 28.
