Art Exhibits, Adult Library May & June 1st floor Jamie Cope Photographs, 2nd floor Linda Maney "Abstractions and Distractions" watercolor and acrylic. Investing for a Sustainable Future, Ben & Jerry’s “Is There Life After Acquisition?” May 13, 2008 at 6:30pm Guest Speaker: Rob Michalak. Many progressive and socially responsible companies have been acquired in recent years (the Body Shoppe, Burt's Bees, Tom's of Maine, Ben & Jerry's)... Rob will describe from Ben & Jerry's perspective what that experience has been like, and what it means and may mean for other SR businesses in the future. The Investing for a Sustainable Future series is made possible in part with support from the National Life Group. Why I Love The Ghosts of Japan with Howard Norman Wednesday, May 21 at 7pm Novelist Howard Norman, internationally acclaimed and particularly beloved in Central Vermont, will give a talk drawing on his recent journey tracing the footsteps of the 17th-century poet and haiku master Matsuo Basho. |

Here are some resources at the library that you might not have been aware of!
The library has a wonderful collection for anyone wanting to learn a new language or brush up old skills. You’ll find materials in various formats- books, CDs, tapes and videos. Check our catalog for the language of your choice or just stop in to browse. The staff is always glad to help. ~Travel Books Wanted Help the Kellogg-Hubbard keep its travel collection up to date, in spite of a tight budget. When you return from your next trip, please consider donating your travel guides to the library so that others can use them. Guides slated for the library’s collection should be no more than two years old, and unmarked. We’ll happily include others in our book sale. Thanks for thinking of us! If you have any questions, call Hilari at 223-3338. ~A Note About Magazine Donations The library welcomes donations of magazines. However, because space is limited we ask that you bring only RECENT issues, within six months or so. They may be added to the magazine rack in the Holmes Room (adult library non-fiction room) during library hours. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THEM IN THE BOOKDROP.
