Her love of books started like so many of us – reading under the covers with a flashlight well past her bedtime. But for Shauna Beulah of Federalsburg, her passion for reading became more than a hobby, leading her to become the first paid Branch Manager of the St. Michaels Branch of the Talbot County Free Library (TCFL) in 1986 – a job she will be retiring from this spring. Her 40-year legacy culminates with the newly expanded library opening its doors on March 21.

There are few better ways to start the spring season than by grabbing a tote bag and heading down to the St. Michaels Farmers Market (SMFM) in St. Michaels.

And starting on April 11, it will return to showcase the region’s bounty for its 29th season. Located in the public parking lot behind Pemberton’s Pharmacy at 206 S. Talbot Street, it will operate rain or shine on Saturday mornings between 8:30 and 11:30am through November 21.
