Friends seek three new Board members
|
At our Annual Meeting in June 2017, The Friends of the Rowley Public Library, Inc. will need three new Board members to replace the current President and Treasurer, both of whom will be stepping down, and to install a Vice President, a role that has been vacant for a number of years. Officer terms run one year, from July through June, and meetings currently are held every other month. The Friends are forming a Nominating Committee to vet candidates and present a slate of nominees for the members to vote on at that meeting. We invite members of the community who have an abiding interest in supporting our library through fundraising or volunteering at our many annual events to get involved. No prior library experience required - just your ideas, energy and enthusiasm! The current Board is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for new officers. Please email friends@rowleylibrary.org or contact Pam Jacobson, Library Director, if you are interested.

Notan Art on Display in November
|
This month the Rowley Public Library is hosting art created by local students from Pine Grove. Notan is a design element used for creating composition in art. The Japanese use the term 'Notan' to describe an important element of design involving the play of light versus dark. Students first learned about positive space and negative space and saw examples of artwork displaying both elements. They then created their own to share. See what it's all about! Their artwork will be on exhibit through the month of November.
