2010 Artist
Showcase Barnstead Library
Continuing with a yearlong 2010 Artist
Showcase, the Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Center Barnstead presents
the artwork of local New Hampshire artists. We are currently featuring
Acrylic Painting - Themes in Nature by Patricia A. Davis of Pembroke
through April. Pat’s acrylics in this exhibit show traditional
landscapes and “space scapes” of the cosmos.
Pat will be followed by
Suzanne Tasker of East Concord with watercolors in September, Dick Pratt
and Frank Curatolo of Chichester with oils and acrylics in October, and
Judy Doughty of Nottingham, wrapping up the showcase, with pastels and
watercolors in November.
The display resides in the main section of
the library and features different artwork each month. Please come by to
view the artwork, sign the guest book, and vote for your favorites. For
more information, please call the library at 269-3900.
New Young
Adult Section At Barnstead Library
New at the Oscar Foss Memorial
Library in Center Barnstead is a Young Adult Fiction area, part of the
juvenile section of the library that has been created to contain fiction
for Grades 7 and up, ages 12 and up. We’ve gathered in this section
recently purchased books as well as existing selections that fall into
the Young Adult (YA) category.
Young Adult books are written for
middle and high school ages and up. We do not consider reading level as
criteria for inclusion into the YA category. It is based solely on
content. Using the ALA recommended grade levels (Booklist), along with
other book reviewers, such as School Library Journal and Publishers
Weekly, we’ve assigned the YA designation. Inside each book is a label
with the YA designation Grades 7 and up, Grades 8 and up, or Grades 9
and up. Older teens will be able to find Young Adult selections easily,
so please stop by for some great reading!
For more information,
please call the library at 269-3900.
