Thank you to Jason Martin and Ejaz Hussain who shared their poetry with us on April 20th.   Cynthia Keever and Sean Hanus read some of their poetry on Friday April 12th.  Check out our programming page for more photos and information on upcoming lectures.

Come in and see our new computer desks graciously donated by the Perillo family and put together by Barb Hamil and Bob McBrien.  Our computer center has expanded to four computers and provides access to the intenet and the Four County Library System for borrowing books and utilizing many resources.

We also have several programs this week for both children and adults, it’s not to late to register, come in or call the library and ask to register for the program you want to attend.  For the children, we have art programs this week.  Wednesday at 1:00 children are invited to come and learn the basics of drawing.  Morgan Ackerly will be providing instruction to the children and then allowing them to practice what they learn.  Thursday, Teens are invited to come and learn the basics of drawing Manga characters with Morgan from 6:00-8:00 pm.  Friday, from 10:00 to 12:00, children can come and take lessons from Morgan to learn the basics of drawing comic characters.

On Saturday,  from 2:00 -4:00, we have local photographer Bill Ryall sharing information on taking better photographs with his lecture Photography for all Season: Getting Beyond the Snapshot.  It is sure to be very informative.

Due to the latest storm expectations, the library chose to err on the side of caution and postpone our February Lecture series with Bill Ryall until our scheduled snow date  on February 23rd from 2-4.  You cn still sign up for the lecture at the circulation desk anytime before the 23rd.  Bill will be sharing how to take a better photograph.

Make sure you check out our programming page for upcoming events!
