Martha Canfield Library E-news
 
Welcome to the June, 2014 edition of the Martha Canfield Library’s e-newsletter. If you have any suggestions, you can email them to our hotmail account or leave them in our suggestion jar on the front desk.
 
Programs
 
On Thursday, June 26at 7:00pm John Schaub presents Listing on Ebay. John will show how to create a listing that helps sell your item by actually listing a few items on Ebay. This is a follow-up to his previous talk about Selling Online. If you have been wondering how to sell some of your unused items, this will help you.
 
Our Fiber and More group is now meeting on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Bring your knitting, crochet, quilting or other fiber crafts and exchange tips and patterns, or learn a new skill. June 25 will be Washcloth Wednesday. For more information call Tricia at 375-2219.
 
 
Canfield Gallery
 
Lure of the Landscape will feature the latest work of local artist Dona Mara. Dona’s mixed media contemporary landscape paintings will be on view June 5-28.
 
In describing her paintings Dona says, “I strive to create art filled with balance, calmness, and the essence of nature. In my paintings I imagine the viewer drawn into a world freed from the pressures of modern living where one can rest, a kind of spiritual remedy. This provides me a primal connection between artist and viewer.”
 
For Families
 
Are you looking for something for your out-of-town visitors to do? Or, perhaps you are planning a family outing. We have just the thing: a State Parks Pass or a State Historic Sites Pass you can borrow. The Parks Pass gives free entrance for one vehicle with up to eight passengers to any state park for one day. The Historic Sites Pass gives free admission for one family or group of up to eight people for one day. Passes may be borrowed for three days, and you can reserve it in advance.
 
 
 
For Kids
 
Join us this summer as we Fizz, Boom, Read! Sign up for our reading club, starting the last day of school, June 12! Stop in and try one of our weekly puzzles or science activities! Come to one of our special science programs in July (schedule TBA shortly).
 
Join us on Wednesday mornings at 10:30am for a preschool story-time. We’ll read a few stories, and perhaps do a craft, listen to a song or play with a puppet.
 
 
Book Sale
 
Books make great Father’s Day gifts, and we have a wonderful selection of how-to books, novels and much more for Dad at our summer book sale in the Arlington Community House on Route 7A. We are open for our regular summer hours every weekend, Fridays, 1 – 4 and Saturdays and Sundays 10 – 4.
 
 
And if you have gently used books, DVDs, music CDs, games or puzzles that you no longer use, consider dropping them off at the Library during regular hours for our special one-day book sale at Fisher School at the end of July. Please, for the health and safety of our staff and our customers, before you bring them, check to make sure there is no mold or bugs. Thank you!.
 
 
 
Volunteer Opportunities
 
We need someone to work at the front desk on Tuesday mornings, from 9:00am – 12:00noon. If you are interested in helping people and are comfortable with computers, stop in and see Phyllis.
 
We are also looking for volunteers to work at the summer book sale in the Community House. You can take a three hour shift once a week, once a month, or be available as a substitute. If you are interested stop in at the sale and talk to Joyce, or leave your name and phone number at the Library.
