Our newest art exhibit: Recent systemic paintings by Washington resident Bob Richardson are on exhibit from July 8 through September 1.  Richardson, known also as a musician and composer in the midcoast area, was twice Artist in Residence at the Robert M. MacNamara Artist Residency Program on Westport Island.  His work was selected for the 2008 Biennial Show at The Center for Maine Contemporary Art and has recently been shown at the Aarhus Gallery in Belfast.  The concepts behind this work, with roots dating back to graduate school at the University of Hartford, were revisited by Richardson during the MacNamara residency and vigorously pursued in his studio during the past three years.   Says Richardson: “My work is a sensory as well as sensual response to seeing and hearing in the natural world, much influenced by my lifetime involvement with music.  The resulting images take on a rhythmic, ordered form.  My work is not about depicting what is seen, the external, the known.  It is about attempting to grasp and share what I internally “see”, that which is perhaps not known, but felt.”

July  Win a Bicycle in the Summer Reading Program    Have you started reading yet?   The 2010 Summer Reading Program continues in July.   Read books and enter to win one of six beautiful new bicycles and helmets.  Every time 5 books or 250 pages of a long book or several long books are read, a child will receive an entry form to enter the bicycle drawing.   The local Masons donated the bicycles and we thank them very much for their generosity.    Details are available at the library desk. 

Gibbs Library now has two free passes to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. 
Patrons may keep the passes for three days and then must return them to the library.
