In conjunction with the Edward Hopper exhibition currently at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Lamson Library invites our users to learn about the artist and his works. A display of select resources is in the Reference Area on the Main Level of the Library.

The MFA exhibit will run throughout most of the summer until August 19, 2007.
You can preview the exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, or to learn more, visit the Edward Hopper Scrapbook at the Smithsonian.

President Steen read old favorites like The Cat in the Hat and well as newer titles. Child Development and Family Center Teacher Bob Gannett and Outreach Librarian Anne Kulig were on hand to entertain as well.

Everyone enjoyed the refreshments and a little alone time in the stacks.

The Library and Lamson Learning Commons is pleased to display the landscape photography of PSU student Andrew P. Cary in the Commons Cafe.

Cary is the first student at Plymouth to create a complete digital portfolio in photography. He writes that “looking through the lens allows me to create interesting compositions and to explore and capture everyday landscape scenes into pictures that communicate on another level.”

Kindergarteners from the PSU Child Development and Family Center visited the library on Thursday February 8th. The class had been exploring fairy tales and were eager to find their favorites such as Beauty and the Beast, The Three Little Pigs, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Outreach Librarian, Anne Kulig, read a new twist on one old favorite entitled KATE and the Beanstalk by Mary Pope Osborn (author of the the popular Magic Tree House series) and then the youngsters visited the Children’s Literature collection to find their OWN magic.

The Childcare Center protocol does not permit us to show pictures of the children, but a good time was had by all. Our thanks go to Meredith Leighton and Karen McDonough, Kindergarten Teachers, for arranging the visit.

Come back soon!
