Playground Mural Project Submissions Requested

Attention All Wendell residents, grown-ups and kids!
 What does Wendell mean to you? Get out your art supplies!

The Friends of the Wendell Library will be creating a mural for the big green playground fence this summer. 

We are planning a landscape image for most of the mural and need a series of smaller images along the bottom. Here is your opportunity to help us out. We are asking anyone and everyone to submit a painting or sketch that says "Wendell" to you. Work can be on paper, in black and white or color, and no larger than 12" x 18". 

The Library Art Committee will chose some and then transfer these to the mural when it is painted later this summer. It is important to know that the images will be changed to work with the mural.

Please submit work to the Wendell Free Library by June 5th, 2013.

New Books on CD

Again this year, the Wendell Free Library received a large selection of audio books from Larry Pruner, of Valley Books, an online source of used, antiquarian and discount books. We have been able to purchase them at most reasonable prices. Almost all are very recent books and have been very favorably reviewed in the press and by the public (according to Amazon). Happy listening and thank you, Larry!
