“Every time I walk into the reading room of the Lexington Cary Library, the big bookshelf with well arranged books always attracts my attention and curiosity. “Celebrate Lexington’s Authors – 150th Cary Memorial Library 1868 – 2018” is written on the wall behind the bookshelf. As it is well known, Lexington has more than 500 published authors who specialize in science, education, literature, history, economics, health, computer science and other fields, and the library houses more than 1,500 books written by Lexington residents, an invaluable resource for many of us.

ReadLexington focuses on the local writers who live amongst us. They are our neighbors, friends and mentors. They appear distant yet are so close to us. ReadLexington aims to promote books written by Lexingtonians, offers readers a glimpse of authors’ creative process and daily life, and encourages everyone to read their books. It is published in both English and Chinese.

Summer afternoon-summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. – An International Episode Writer, Henry James. Let us pick a beautiful summer afternoon, and read a book by Lexingtonian together!

What a fabulous night for “Tanglewood in Lexington”! Audiences enjoyed music from different genres by musicians from top music institutes, as well as amateur musicians of all ages in a cool summer evening.

Heartfelt thanks to many of our dedicated volunteers who made the Dreamaga Boston International Asian Music Festival in Lexington a huge success and a unique experience for audiences!

那个青草香里听乐声的美妙夜晚，大师、稚儿同台，摇滚、民歌齐飞，中、西音乐交响，有人穿着凉拖听歌剧，有人跪在地上拍录像，美好的旋律和独特的记忆将会长久地留在观众心中。
