The Friends of the Library are looking for some new volunteers to help with the Book Sales and their monthly newsletter, The Library Page.

Used Book Prep Team: Meet weekly (on-going Monday or Friday mornings)  to help clean and sort donations for the Book Nook and online book sales. Perks include getting a first peek at new-to-us titles. Contact Ellie at elliear@myfairpoint.net.

Newsletter Editor: Coordinate the publication of the Friend's monthly newsletter. This is a 4-5 hour/month job for 10 issues (no July or August) each year. Must be organized, and have a knack and technical skills for making a layout work. Patience and a good sense of humor are most helpful. Contact Lisa at lisa@beehivedevelopment.com for more info.

We're doing pretty well but we'd like to do more! If you haven't yet, please consider bringing some food to donate to the Hancock County Food drive to help out folks who are struggling! With the cold hanging on so long we don't want people to have to choose between heat and food! Suggested items include whole grain pastas, healthy soups, canned vegetables, low sugar cereals, whole grain rice, canned fruits, peanut butter, canned tuna, and canned meats.

The Library will be hosting the annual Student Art Show during the month of April. Schools and homeschoolers from surrounding areas have been invited to participate with the goal of sharing with the community the talent and creativity of local young people -- expressed in watercolors, pen and ink, ceramics, sculpture, collages, yarn and woven items, and much more. Creative energy will abound throughout the entire library, on almost every wall and counter, upstairs and down.  This show is a favorite with the public every year.

Everyone is invited to a reception to celebrate the artists and their teachers on Friday, April 3, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM. Supported by the Friends of the Library, this reception is a good time to view the artwork, meet some of the artists, and enjoy some refreshments.  For more information, please call Pat at 374-5515.

The Library will be offering a 4 session yoga class for children from 3 to 5 years of age on Thursdays April 2nd to 30th, except for the 23rd (which is school vacation) from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. The class, taught by Rebecca Rose Tousignant, introduces children to the practice of yoga through stories, games, songs, and creative movement. The classes are free, thanks to the Friends of the Library. For more information call the Library at 374-5515.
 

Local photographer Nancy Dewey is showing images of Peru in the Library's Britton Gallery this month.  Peruvian Quest , is a mix of both black and white and color photos that she took on trips to Peru in 1979 and 2013.  It will only be up until the end of the week so make sure to stop by if you haven't seen it yet!
