April means time for ART!
April is Fair Housing Month. It's a time for us to think about home and what it means to each of us. This year we're taking inspiration from Ken Cadow's inspiring book, Gather. In this story written for young adults, a resourceful teenager in rural Vermont struggles to hold on to the family home while his mom recovers from addiction. In cooperation with CVOEO we are fortunate enough to offer interested participants free watercolor kits for the "HeART & Home Community Art Project." Anyone interested can also pick up a stenciled image in the style of Gather's cover. Come choose an animal and paint all around it. We look forward to seeing your color choices and the final creations. We'd also be delighted to display your finished painting. This is an all-ages activity, please email us with questions or if you're interested in making a submission: [email protected] Hope you'll be inspired! Be sure to check out some of the events happening this month. 
New Art Space Video Subscription
We're excited to announce that the Library has taken out a subscription to the Little Artist's Room due to a very generous donation. This allows us access to their full catalog of art videos. We may use these as the basis for in-person events in the future or possibly some take home crafts. Take a look around the website and you see something of interest-- let us know! We're quite taken with the lions and tigers--oh my! Come and see our display of monthly celebrations
So many amazing things to acknowledge in April. Poetry, Libraries, and National Parks; as well as donuts, mermaids, grilled cheese and greyhounds. Stop by and see our displays to help you learn more about and celebrate some of the wonderful things in our world. |
Dark Skies:
an interactive event for all ages Friday, April 25 at 7:30 PM For millennia, humans have looked up at the night sky in awe. However, light pollution has been increasing with adverse consequences for wildlife, human health, and energy waste. Even in rural Vermont our dark skies are at risk. Join us for this interactive program which will explore the effects of light pollution and what you can do about it. Following the presentation, you can participate in a citizen science project where we will go outside to measure the sky darkness with the library’s new sky meter, which will be available for patrons to check out and use. We’ll also have a telescope set up for nighttime viewing. In the event of inclement weather on Friday, April 25, we'll try for an alternate date for this program on Saturday, April 26. Please check back here or visit the library’s Facebook page for updates if the event is postponed. 
This month's Take & Make:
**Spring snow globes** Is a snow globe still a snow globe if it doesn't have liquid or snow inside? These upcycled creations are so cute, it won't even matter. You can choose a forest scene with deer & bunnies or a farm scene with sheep & chicks. Both are sweet enough to be the centerpiece at your Spring celebration. This craft is open to all ages. Supplies are limited, so one to a family, please. All the supplies you need should be contained in the jar, but you may find a little glue is handy for assembly. Send us some photos, we love to see your designs. |
Something New at the Library
So many of you have asked for a private space to zoom for tele-health or a class/interview. While we have been working on a solution for the past few years, we have come up with a temporary fix. Soon you'll be able to come to the Library and reserve time in our Shushbooth.
Take a look at the demo video to get a sense of how it works. We're eager to get it assembled so that the next time someone asks for a private space we can say "YES, right this way!"
