Last Chance to See MAMS 2013 Artwork Display!

Since the May MAMS Art Show, we have been very proud to display all of the students' wonderful work, but that display will be removed in September to make way for the work of students at the Arts High School.  If you have a moment, do stop by to see the MAMS work -- located along the wall in the balcony. If you know of a group of Matawan or Aberdeen artists (of any age) that might be interested in displaying artwork at the library during the winter months, please have them contact me at (732) 583-9100 or kpaone@lmxac.org.   (Artwork must be flat and matted.)

Get Ready for Finisher's Day!

This year, Finisher's Day has dual meaning for me...  it is, of course, the last official day of Summer Reading, and we will celebrate by hosting Brian Richards' magic show this Friday, August 9th.  Doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 7 -- it is an all-ages event, and we hope to see a full house for magic and final raffle drawings!  

But also, since we are finally at the very end of the last odds and ends of our renovation project, Finisher's Day also means closing the book on this very long and often arduous construction period.  We will be able to move forward into fall feeling good about what has been accomplished in our basement, both as far as the renovation and the summer program is concerned.

A special thank you goes out to the MAPL staff.  This has not been an easy time, but we have made it through, and I have a new appreciation for their dedication and resiliency.

In September, we will host an Open House so that those of you who have not been in this summer can stop by to see our new meeting space.  I look forward to seeing you then.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
