The South Cumberland Library will be hosting “Man and Nature: An Art
Show for the Blind” on Wednesday, July 26 from 3:00- 7:00 PM, at the
library. The show will exhibit works of art that can be enjoyed through
the sense of touch. Included will be antique and contemporary pieces
made of glass, metal, ceramic, and wood, as well as paintings.
The nature theme will reflect on how man changes what nature has given
to create works of art, many of which reflect nature right back.

The Middle School Book Discussion Group at the LaVale Library will meet
on Thursday, July 27 at 6PM to discuss Anne of Green Gables by
L.M. Montgomery. Copies of the book are available at the library.
Pre-registration is required for this one hour program; call
301-729-0855.
This timeless classic just might help readers cultivate their own
imagination, following in Anne’s footsteps. It’s a rough time early on
for this main character of the book, but being mistakenly adopted to a
brother-sister couple on Prince Edward Island leads to a life full of
possibilities, and Anne is just the one to make the most of the
situation.

During the month of August, the Allegany County Library System will host
a Teen Photo Contest. Teens ages 13-17 are invited to submit their
original photographs that show what it is like to be a teenager today.
Multiple winners will be chosen to have their photographs made into
bookmarks for the public, especially teens.
The LaVale Library and George’s Creek Regional Library will be
displaying the photos as they are received to help get your creative
juices flowing!
“This is a great opportunity to see their photography work in print,”
commented Linda Burkey, Coordinator of Community Outreach. “Plus it will
really be helping the library. Commercially produced bookmarks are quite
expensive.”
With each photo, please submit a copy of the entry form, a signed
photographer release form, and a photography consent form from every
person shown in the photograph. Release forms and entry forms are
available at your library and online.
Photos can be any size, color or black & white, or digital. Entries must
be submitted on or before August 31, at any library branch or e-mailed
to
rmason@allconet.org
