Congratulations to Kathy Benvie and our staff for being awarded First Prize for library newsletters at the Massachusetts Library Association Annual Conference. Spring 2009 Newsletter (pdf) Fall Newsletter Check our the home page for more news!
The library is now a permanent drop-off site for food donations for the Pembroke Food Pantry. Hundreds of Pembroke residents are helped at the pantry. July Exhibit: Paintings by Michael Flaherty Michael says it will be a "poor man's art show". Michael who was a long time resident of Pembroke, moved to Hawaii for six months last year and dispersed all his art supplies and artwork. But now he is back and working mostly in acrylics because they are fun and he likes lots of color. He will be showing six paintings done while in the islands where he became known as "Hayolee Mike". Stop by in July to see Mike's colorful character paintings.
Gallery hours are Mon –Thurs. 10-8, Fri & Sat. 10-5 and Sunday 12-4 (when room not in program use.) The gallery space in the meeting room is a great place to view local artist's work, or show your own. The library has large exhibit cases at the entrance. They are available to display collections or small art work. Artists interested in booking the meeting room for a show or arranging a display, should speak with Library Director Deborah Wall at 781-293-6771 or email dwall@sailsinc.org |
New members are always welcome at the library and we want all Pembroke residents to have a library card. They may be used in all SAILS Library Network libraries and you will need one to use the Internet computers in the library. The first card is free, just bring in identification. Lost your card? A replacement is only $1.00.
