I mentioned in a previous post that we were looking for some local artists that would want to display some of their artwork in our 'new' quiet reading area. Be sure to contact us, there is still space to fill.
But speaking of space to fill, we also have some display cases in the lower lobby area. There are times of the year, like right now, that these cases are filled with displays from local organizations. However, there are many times of the year that one, two or all display areas are empty. I would love to be able to showcase a collection that you might have and want to share with the public. I used to have a varied collection of Beatrice Potter items (figurines, dishware, lamp, books) that made a nice display. A woman who made decorative Easter eggs often would display her work, and I had another patron who would display interesting finds she had picked up in her travels.
I know that almost all of us have some kind of collection, so if you are interested in sharing it for a few weeks, we would be delighted to highlight it in one of our cases. Be sure to contact me at the library in person, by phone (898-7064) or by email abaker@salem.lib.nh.us and we will schedule your display right away.
