Artist’s Statement from Ralph Olsen
“Creativity is not a hobby, it’s a way of life.”
As a retired architect, I had to find an outlet for my creative “juices.”  I tried painting on driftwood, photography, collage, and, most recently, assemblage.  As an inveterate saver of all things, I find assemblage to be the ideal medium for me.  I hope my artistic endeavors convey my love of life.

Join us on Saturday, August 10th, at noon for a fun family art class!  Adults and kids entering grades 1 and up.  We will explore the differences between painting and mono printing with acrylic paints and easy to use Gelli Plates.  Please register adults and kids separately.  

Join us at the Library this summer from June 24th through August 8th for our summer reading program for children ages 3-12. The theme this year is “A Universe of Stories.” We’ll have special programs, crafts, and weekly book check-ins with prizes. Drop in weekly on Mondays or Thursdays from 3:30-6pm to see Miss Nancy to talk about a book, pick up your prize and complete a craft. On Thursday, August 8th at 6pm, we’ll have a family pizza party for everybody in the program. Visit our events calendar for a full list of programs. Come join the fun!

Additionally, the Library’s annual Adult Summer Reading Raffle will be held for 8 weeks. Submit an entry form for each book you read over the summer. A winner will be chosen every Friday, July 12th – August 30th. Prizes will include gift certificates, gadgets, books and more

For the month of July, the Library presents Mary Mclean-Hely: Habitats. An opening reception for the artist will take place on Sunday, July 14th, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. All are welcome.

Mclean-Hely’s exhibition focuses on animals both wild and tame- many from a trip to Africa and others, of the domestic variety, from around New York state— dogs, chickens, cows, a guinea pig. The pieces are all created with watercolor pencil and picture the animals in their natural habitats. Several show a mother with her young and as Mclean-Hely states, “I try to capture animals being animals.”
