    Special Artist Reception:  Pat Crockett on March 11, 2026, from 4:00–6:00 PM

    Join us at Philip Read Memorial Library for a special artist reception celebrating The Color of Feeling on March 11, 2026, from 4:00–6:00 PM. Pat Crockett’s work explores the expressive possibilities of acrylic printmaking, blending traditional techniques with unexpected tools—tinfoil, balloons, even a windshield wiper—to create richly layered, emotionally resonant pieces. Color, texture, and gesture come together to communicate feeling beyond words. This reception offers a chance to meet the artist, view the exhibit, and experience the creative process behind this vibrant body of work. 

    📍 Philip Read Memorial Library (PRML) 

    🎨 Artist Reception: March 11, 2026 | 4–6 PM All are welcome. Come celebrate art, process, and emotion with us.

    The Friends of Philip Read Memorial Library are holding a free SPRING
    ARRANGING POTLUCK on Friday March 13, 2026 at 3:00pm at the
    Philip Read Memorial Library.
    Since our gardens are buried under snow and ice, we will not have fresh
    flowers for this Potluck. However, there are still many ways you can create
    fun and beautiful Spring arrangements. Be creative!
    PEEPs and other colorful candies available at this time of year can be
    arranged in fun and pretty ways in jars, vases or baskets. Put some colorful
    eggs, chicks or bunnies in a basket. Eggs or butterflies hanging from
    branches. So many possibilities! There are lots of ideas on the internet,
    come even if you don’t have a specific idea, you will get an idea from others.
    It will be fun!
    Bring artificial flowers, or if you like, real flowers; and all kinds of other
    Spring things - ribbons, candy, PEEPS, eggs.
    Questions or to RSVP contact Judy at judyptak15@gmail.com or 603667-1031
