The art of David Macaulay will be on display at the Lanpher Memorial Library during the month of November. Please stop by November 1st-30th to view it.
According to the artist, the books represented in the exhibit “range from the history of architecture and the workings of technology to aspects of the human body, the decline of society, and why a chicken once crossed a road. Selected in the dark from hundreds of illustrations and at least five times as many sketches, they represent a tiny sliver of the vast amount of flotsam left in the wake of each book.”
Macaulay has written and/or illustrated numerous books, including the international bestseller, The Way Things Work. His books have sold more than three million copies in the United States, and his work has been translated into a dozen languages. Macaulay’s numerous awards include a MacArthur Fellowship, the Caldecott Medal (for Black and White), an American Institute of Architects Medal, the Washington Children’s Book Guild Nonfiction Award, and the Bradford Washburn Award.

A Final Gift of Love
It’s easy to be overwhelmed when thinking of end of life decisions but preparation now can be a true gift for your loved ones. Please join Linda Cannon-Huffman, a Death Midwife, for an evening of practical help in addressing the many choices and important decisions that can be made which will give you, your family and friends assurance that your final wishes will be granted. Nothing is written in stone, you can and should make adjustments for life changes, but having your preferences in writing will alleviate the stress of decision making by loved ones who might otherwise not know what you want. There may even be laughter and cookies involved.
Linda has a Masters in Public Health Education and has taken many courses, workshops and classes on death and dying from Western, Buddhist and Shamanic perspectives.
