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 aheadof 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.

The Benefits of Telehealth in Our Community

Sheep Photobomb Needle Felted Landscape with Kristen Walsh In this workshop students will begin by learning basic needle felting techniques to create a simple and quick meadow “wool painting.” Color choice, blending colors, and perspective will be covered to help students create a believable landscape. Then the fun begins! Students will add a photobombing sheep to the foreground of their painting and then add small sheep to the background to create depth and distance. Skill Level: Beginner

Register Limited to 12 participants. (more…)

Sally has spent the last 50 summers in Liberty, Maine at the lake or in her woods. They are both music to her eyes expressed through painting. She says, “A perfect time for me is first looking around at colors and shapes and then trying to put them on canvas successfully. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you don’t; so you take another look and you pick another color and a new brush and go at it again.”

.

Sally enjoys creating and having acres of resources that inspire a woods walk and finding that unique limb that becomes part of a table or a bird form or maybe something else!

.

“Every summer, the drive from my home in Rhode Island to my home in Liberty is more than a trip. It’s a return to a swim in the lake and a walk in the woods where I truly love to create.”

.

The exhibit will be at the library during May and June. All of her paintings are for sale (some are already sold!) and 33% of the sales will be donated to the Liberty Library.

We are thrilled to announce that Liberty Library has been selected for the American Library Association’s Digital Pathways: Online Health Literacy Programming for Adults initiative, a pilot program that supports libraries’ online health literacy programming during a nine-month implementation period. Selected through a highly competitive application process, Liberty Library joins a group of 12 libraries across the country participating in the program. It was the only public library chosen in the New England region. As a community hub, Liberty Library will continue to play an important role in helping the adults in our community connect with telehealth services and reliable healthcare resources. This pilot program will help create an innovative program and local partnership with the Waldo Broadband Corporation (WBC). The library will receive an $8,000 stipend to support costs associated with programs.

Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30pm (The April Book Discussion is canceled because a number of people will be able to attend.)
