This is an invitation for you to come see the latest exhibit at the Greensboro Free Library. It is views of Caspian Lake done by local residents in a variety of media. They are done in acrylic on canvas board and wood, colored pencil, a paper collage, oil on canvas, pastels, photographs, a photo montage, prints, stained glass mosaic, watercolor, and woodblock print.
GRACE (Grassroots Arts and Community Effort
NKHS (Northeast Kingdom Human Services)
This exhibition showcases the current work of artists associated with the Northeast Kingdom Human Services (NKHS) alongside the artwork from the GRACE archive. Archival works were selected to compliment the wide ranging subjects and themes explored by the NKHS artists. The animal world, nature scenes, and adventures into the abstract are all on display in this celebration of local creativity and artistic history.
They will be on display from January 15 – February 28.
Exhibits have been done by local craftsmen. Several are available for either a donation to the library or for a fee.
Many thanks to the owners who have given them to the library for showing in the gallery so you can enjoy the views of Caspian.

| January Book Club – “ON TYRANNY TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ” by Timothy Snyder The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Email greensborofreelibrary.org to learn more or to added our book club e-mail list. | Thurs January 30th 1:00 PM Library |
