Featured Paintings @ the Library Gallery

We have a new exhibit in our gallery: paintings by Rose Bish. Not only does she have an amazing doll collection (see the new dolls in the case) but she wields a mean brush.

Next time you're checking out books, wander over to check out Rose's beautiful artwork. And if you don't need any books, come by anyway for the art!

Play with Clay ~ May 20

 Sunday, May 20, is the day for ArtSplash! 

This month Johanna will offer the opportunity to mess around with clay. The medium of the month is sculpey clay, a polymer that is smooth and can be oven-baked.

Johanna is a local artist who loves introducing children and adults to a diversity of media through which to explore art. $5 fee covers materials.

Call the library to register at 659-7258.

Check out an Empire Pass from the Library

Got an itch to travel but not a lot of dough to spend on State Park entry fees?
Don't worry - Candor Free Library has you covered.

Buttermilk Falls (NYS Parks)

This year you can check out an Empire Pass for a week. The pass allows free park entry to one carload of friends and family.

Where can you go? Check out this list of state parks. (For more information about park and historic site fees and hours, including when fees are charged, please contact the facility directly.)

What are you waiting for? Check out the pass, gas the car, and pack a lunch. Go. Explore. See cool things. Have fun.
Then return the pass so another family can enjoy it.

Legos! Zen! Art!

The Lego Club meets every Tuesday evening for a couple hours of engineering-thinking. Last week the kids designed and built marble mazes. There's a garden maze, a food stand, some bridge and underground mazes. Drop by to check them out! Lego club meets at 5 pm, but Fran says late-arrivals are welcome to join in. Free.*

If you are looking for a moment of Zen, drop by on Saturday, May 12 for a couple hours of zentangles. This month Fran is exploring COLOR. It's a relaxing, meditative drawing activity that helps connect both sides of the brain. Plus you end up with some cool designs. Fran has been drawing zentangles for years, and is sharing her love and talent with anyone who wants to learn. All you need to bring is yourself; supplies are provided. Free.*
