The duckies have made their “dramatic” plunge, putting the dives of swans (at least the lazy ones) to shame. The season of Summer Reading is in full swing, swimming through Oceans of Possibilities™.

Featured Artist

Joel Rhymer will be our featured artist for July - September. On Wednesday, July 6th, at 7pm, Joel will be at the Library to celebrate the opening of his exhibit, “Old Portland and Elm,'' with an artist talk and reception for the public. At that time, Joel will discuss his photography and have copies of his book for sale. 


You can also check out Joel's book, My ego confuses my heart: photographs (2012-2021), from the Library.

All Sorts of Books

If you would like to help the Friends of the Library sort through all of the book donations we receive this month to get them ready for the sale, or if you'd like to help out at the sale itself, we have sign up sheets available on the elevator door where you can sign up to help!
