In October, students took four sketching classes with Kris Engman. They are displaying their drawings at the library during November & December. Students ranged from age eleven to retired individuals. Many thought the class was challenging but said they learned so much from Kris. We certainly appreciate her generosity for teaching the class. Kris says it was the best class ever taught!

StoryWalk®*

Rumors of coming Cold and Darkness spread through the woods until a birch tree stump uses wisdom and humor to calm the animals’ fears.

The tale was Inspired by Gluskap, the heroic and kind-hearted figure of Wabanaki legends. Portraits of Wabanaki tribal elders were used as a springboard for the extraordinary paintings that make this a children’s book like no other.
