Library News

An assortment of “Peanuts” memorabilia from the collection of Deborah Sampson of Windham will be on display through Jan. 25, at the Windham Public Library. Sampson was hooked on “Peanuts” from the first time she saw a Charlie Brown special on TV, but has only become a serious collector for about 10 years.

There is a nice assortment of memorabilia on display at the library: small Snoopy figurines, larger Snoopy stuffed animals, stickers, and a Snoopy teapot and mug among other collectibles. Children and “Peanuts” lovers will especially want to stop by the library for a look at this wonderful collection. Call the library for more information or for directions at 892-1908.
