Library Holiday Hours

September Art Exhibit
Seaside Botanical Art
 
Local artist Stephanie King's seaside botanical art will be on display along the art walk for the month of September in the Adult Collections Room for the public to enjoy during library hours! 
 
"Sourced from the Sea: Atlantic Impressions" is artist Stephanie King's work of mixed media and botanical illustrations containing real seaweed and botanical pressings.  The works in this series offer both a realistic and whimsical assemblage of time and place.  Stephanie takes a Victorian tradition of seaweed pressing into the future with modern shapes and ideas while pushing traditional boundaries and approaches.  Stephanie focuses on creating natural abstractions through  material exploration, drawing inspiration from the colors, patterns and textures found within the seascape.  Each design strikes a balance between experimentation and refinement.  
Weekly Staff Pick
The Dana Carvey Show

"Dana Carvey takes a decidedly hilarious spin on politics and pop culture in this amazing but short-lived sketch comedy series. Only eight episodes were made, and only seven of these were broadcast. A tribute to a show that was definitely ahead of its time."
