Book Discussion Group

It has been a while since we had a Book Discussion Group at the Liberty Library. We plan to revive a group this summer by reading the books from the the Maine Readers' Choice Award list. It's easy to participate:

• Read one of the books from the list.
• Come to the Library on Tues., June 11th at 7:00pm. (Future dates will be decided then.)
• Discuss the book(s) you read.
• Vote for your favorite book in September.

An exhibit of African Art Quilts are on exhibit during May and June. The quilts were made by Amy Nichols and Alison Olds who have been friends and co-creators for many years. Living next door to each other on a scenic hilltop in Jackson, Maine, they are longtime members of the quilt group Art Quilts Maine and have exhibited and sold their small art quilts in several shows. For the last two-years, they have designed, created, and sold original beaded jewelry under the name Deer Hill Designs. They can found at Lupine Cottage in Belfast. Amy's father lived in Lesotho, and she was the recipient of many pictures and stories about what a wonderful place it was, which inspired many of the art quilt designs. The quilt on the left is entitled "Market Day" and was made by Alison. There will be a new selection of items on exhibit in June so you will want to come during both May and June to see these beautiful, colorful art quilt designs.

We have purchased a disc cleaning machine to clean the library's DVDs and CDs. If you have personal DVDs, CDs, or game discs that need a buffing, bring them to the library and Jen will clean them for you. We ask for you to pay $2.00 per disc to help cover the cost for the cleaning solutions required. Jen is at the library on Wednesday and Friday afternoons or you can leave them at the library for her to clean. Please leave your name and contact information with the disc. We will do our best to improve your discs, but we will not be responsible if the enhancement does not fix the problem or for any damage to the disc.
