Zenbooth

Use our privacy booth for a quiet work space, virtual meetings, and phone calls. It is normally on a first-come basis, but if you would like to schedule its use for a meeting or telehealth appointment, call the library ahead of time, and we will reserve it for you. Generally the use time is 1-hour but that is flexible, especially if no one is waiting to use it. You may bring your own device or use the library’s laptop computer.

Laura Jackson will displaying her Dollhouse Minatures during the months of November and December. There will be a Meet the Artist event on Tuesday, November 4 from 6-8:00 where Laura will light the houses and discuss how she makes them. Some doll houses will be for sale. More information about this will be forthcoming.

Sad News! – It was reported that the title page and accompanying posts for 14, 15, and 16 are missing. If you find the missing placards or know where they are, please return them to the library. We are very sad because this was such a fun story.

*The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

Joseph Barberio will be displaying his unique clay forms at the library during September and October. His approach ensures the singularity of each piece, since he hand builds either by coiling or forms a piece from hand rolled slabs. All his work is bisque fired in the normal fashion, then goes through a special, second firing with sawdust in small, metal barrels.

.

While he begins each piece with a specific design in mind, Joseph often lets the clay “talk” to him during the slow shaping process. His aim is sometimes sculptural rather than functional thus a few of his pieces are closed, mid-sized forms. None are considered food-safe, though his vase-like forms are treated on the interior to allow them to hold water. Although his pieces are often mistaken for raku because of their random surface patterning, Joseph’s vessels differ sharply in that they are totally unglazed. Read more about his working methods posted at the library.

Joseph lives and has a studio in Hostile Valley in Liberty. His ceramics are for sale, and he is generously donating 50% of his sales to the library.

A Fever in the Heartland : the Ku Klux Klan’s Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan. The Roaring Twenties was the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. But at the peak of their influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman who would reveal their secret cruelties, and finally brought the Klan to their knees.
