Civil War Book Discussion 05/09/2012
On Tuesday, May 22nd at 6:30, we will discuss the title Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane. Our discussion groups tend to be pretty laid back and draw a pretty diverse, but small crowd. We have really nice discussions and hope that you will consider reading this book and joining us...copies are available at the Lanpher LIbrary. (It's only about 130 pages long, so there's still time to finish it!)  Also: you can still come even if you don't have time to read the whole book...or even if you haven't read it at all! Once, someone who'd never even read the book we were discussing, had some wonderful observations to contribute. Add Comment Micah Cannon is a fourth grader at the Bishop John A. Marshall School. He particularly enjoys using his imagination to create a variety of art. In addition to the creations at the Lanpher Library, Micah enjoys creating three dimensional art with meduims like paper mache.  Creating art fills Micah with joy and happiness and he hopes that it is translated through his work and allows the viewer to experience the same feelings. Please visit the Lanpher Library to view Micah's art exhibit and feel welcome to comment in his guest book. Poetry Slam 04/24/2012

Thank You very much Hyde Park voters! The Lanpher Library appreciates the continued support of the Lanpher Memorial Library. We hope everyone gets a chance to use the library soon. We currently have the art of Geoff Corey on display at the Library. His watercolors and acrylics grace our walls and are enjoyed by visitors to the library. His paintings are also for sale as are hand painted greeting cards. There is also a visiting display from Vermont Start with the Arts where local child care programs learned about using literature and illustration to create. Take a look at the scrapbooks that document the art and information about this great Early Ed. program. We recently visited the Regional Library of the VT Dept. of Libraries and borrowed around 150 titles to supplement our own collection. Many of these are in Large Print.
