Spring is Evolving… Inside the Library!

Posted on April 14, 2018 by

Come take a look at and add to our new art installation, Spring’s Evolving Landscape. Thanks to artists Kathryn Wysockey-Johnson and Judy Bush, as well as the 17 people who came to the library for the installation project, we have a whimsical and colorful multi-media display on our bookends. Participants in the art project were inspired by signs of spring and enjoyed creating a brilliant display of critters, colors, and words. Stop by and weave a ribbon into the netting or compose a poem with magnetic words. It may be cold outside but spring is budding here inside the library!

March Display at the Library

Posted on March 20, 2018 by

ted's camera

Ted Lyman’s collection of motion picture and film cameras was randomly acquired. He was identified as “the photographer in the family” and became the recipient of much discarded equipment because of his assumed interest and his inability to say no. He became fascinated by what they said about about their historical times and the advancement of photo technology. Equipment from 1930’s – 1960’s will be on display in our foyer display case for the month of March.
