Events - 5 Dec 19

2020 will be another spectacular year at the library and will mark a full year of the library’s supporting local artists. Sometimes these artists render the world in a way that is new, and fresh and exciting, sometimes they capture moments both intimate and universal all at once! At the end of the day they all are telling stories which is something familiar, satisfying and meaningful to those of us who love the library.

To schedule 4 art shows in 2020, the exhibitions committee announces an open a call for applications for shows to be held:

• Early (mid January-early March)  6 weeks
• Spring (Mid March-debut of May) 6 weeks
• Summer (Mid May- debut of July) 7 weeks
• Fall (Mid-september – mid-november)

Applications should include a text about your work & 5 images to illustrate your form of art.

Deadline for applications is December 15th, 2019. Please send all applications to jp.molenaar@yahoo.fr

The library is pleased to be a partner once again with the 4OO Coups for the 19th edition of the Semaine de Cinema de langue anglaise.

This year’s theme, “On the Road Again”, will be hosting a great lineup of films such as Green Book, Music of my Life, Captain Fantastic, and other films from December 4th-10th. All information can be found by clicking here.

If you love needlecraft, this activity is for you! Each participant will make a textile creation of their choice while exchanging different techniques in English. All styles are welcome: embroidery, patchwork, quilting, weaving, collage, tapestry, etc.

For those who wish, it is possible to work on a group project. Each person will make their own textile artwork inspired by the Neil Gaiman quote, “A book is a dream that you hold in your hand.” The pieces will be shown at the library as an art exhibition in 2020.

Bring your own materials and join us at the library on the following dates: December 5th. Open to library members. Please sign up at the front desk, when possible.
