Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a global and multilingual web-based cooperative free-content encyclopedia. It exists as a wiki, a type of website that allows visitors to edit its content. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing most articles to be changed by anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection. Fascinating! Check it out!
One Book One Valley
The Freedom Public Library is participating in the third annual One Book One Valley. People from all over the community (and Fryeburg) are reading and discussing the same book.
This year's selection is Kate Braestrup's memoir “Here if You Need Me”, which tells the story of her state trooper husband's sudden death in an automobile accident and her subsequent decision to become a Unitarian Universalist minister. She writes of her current work as a chaplain for the Maine Warden Service which sets up search-and-rescue missions throughout the state of Maine.
Readers are welcome to participate in the book club's discussion of this book at their October 27th meeting at 10:30. One Book One Valley will culminate with a presentation by Braestrup at the Lutheran Church in North Conway on Thursday, November 13th at 7:00 p.m. Anyone interested in reading this fascinating memoir is welcome to borrow a copy at the library.
ROBERT MARX
Featured Artist - September & October
We are lucky to have on display this Fall the extraordinary images of Robert Marx . Some are original paintings; others are prints of posters advertising concerts or events. All are extraordinary works of art and require a long look to properly appreciate the detail, creativity, and craftsmanship inherent in each.
Robert is an Arkansas native and studied at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He has lived and worked all over the country, but Freedom has become his favorite place. A freelance painter, Robert works free-hand in watercolor, creating his beautiful work at home. He lives with his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Hannah.
We hope you'll enjoy this show and write your comments.
