Zenbooth

Use our privacy booth for a quiet work space, virtual meetings, and phone calls. It is normally on a first-come basis, but if you would like to schedule its use for a meeting or telehealth appointment, call the library ahead of time, and we will reserve it for you. Generally the use time is 1-hour but that is flexible, especially if no one is waiting to use it. You may bring your own device or use the library’s laptop computer.

SUMMER is my READING season

Beginning June 15th, every day this summer that you read for at least 30 minutes, mark off a circle on your Reading Record. You can read the book yourself or have the book read aloud to you … or a combination of both.

.

Bring your Reading Record to the library between Aug. 25 – Sept. 5th and a donation will be made to the Midcoast Conservancy for the construction and maintenance of hiking trails in the Liberty and Montville area. All ages can participate. Download Reading Record

The Summer Reading program is sponsored by Liberty Graphics; Lake St. George Brewing Co.; Pieceworks, Inc.; Joanne Pease, CPA; Joe & Kate Meadows; and the Liberty Library.

Judith Fischer, from Small Space Gallery in Hostile Valley in Liberty, is exhibiting her oil paintings at the library during July and August. She was born in Long Island, New York. As the fourth generation in a family of artists, she began painting as a small child. She continued her studies at the State University of New York at Fredonia.

.

Judith moved to Maine in 2002 and participated in various group shows and several local and national galleries. She has been an art instructor to both individuals and groups and was honored to serve as Artist-in-Residence at Merryspring Nature Reserve in Camden.

.

Growing up around boats and surrounded by water, it’s no surprise that this watery world is one of her favorite painting subjects. Judith is also a basketmaker and weaver presently in pictorial tapestry weaving where her latest series focuses on – what else – water!

.

Judith’s paintings are for sale. She is generously donating 40% of her sales to the library.

Once again, Sue Chapin has donated a wallhanging/lap blanket for raffle this  summer. This one is  “Garden Peace” and is 52-inch square.
