ART @ the Library

November 9, 2017 by Ginni Nichols, Children's Librarian

Have you seen our new program? With the help of local artist, Isabelle Files, and the children’s room staff we have started a program called ART @ the Library. Once a month on a Tuesday evening at 6:00 in the Children’s room we are doing an art project for all ages. The first event was September 26^th, featuring origami. We had fun making animals, boxes, and other items. On October 24^th we did apple and leaf printing. Our youngest attendees loved working with the paint, and we got very creative.

On November 7^th we did collages by cutting pictures out of magazines and making a poster with the photos. This was a fun and relaxing event with photos of animals being the hot commodity.

Someone liked this owl for their collage

It has been wonderful to see the adults working alongside the children on these projects. Come in and join us for the Tuesday, December 5^th at 6:00 to decorate Holiday cookies and keep checking our Facebook page and calendars for our next ART @ the Library. If you have some ideas of some things you would like to do, just give us a call at 207-582-6894.

What’s all the hoopla about HOOPLA?

September 9, 2017 by Scott Handville, Assistant Director

You are in for a treat with the new service that Gardiner Public Library is providing. Go to our newly updated website and look for the HOOPLA box on the right hand side of the page under Quick Online Links. Register with your library card, and you can then stream movies and music from the site. How cool is that?
