What's Going On:

BOOK DONATIONS

The Friends of the Library of Windham are once again seeking donations. We welcome new and gently used books, books on CD/Tape, music CDs, DVD’s, board games, puzzles, and software. The Community's generosity enables the Friends to have successful Book Fairs year after year. Money raised through the sale of these donations will benefit the Nesmith Library and help fund the many programs the Friends of the Library sponsor each year. Contributions will be accepted at the Nesmith Library during regular business hours.  

If you would like to become involved in the book fair process or have any questions please contact Robin Krane.

FLOW LOOKING FOR CHILDREN'S ARTWORK FOR FESTIVAL LOGO

The Friends of the Library of Windham need young artists to help create the official logo for the 2012 Strawberry Festival and Book Fair!   Help your budding artist enter this year’s Strawberry Festival and Book Fair Design Contest and see their masterpiece used on all of the posters and advertisements for the festival. Windham’s largest annual town festival offers a day of fun for children and their families and what better way to promote the Festival than through the drawings of young children!

Help your child to enter the contest using the following guidelines:

• Submit artwork on an 8 ½” by 11” piece of blank white paper to the front desk of the Nesmith Library by Saturday, April 7th.
• Markers, crayons, paint, or even computer software may be used. Please do not use pencils.
• Keep in mind that strawberries, books, and community are the themes of the Strawberry Festival and Book Fair.
• Open to children 12 and younger, please.
• Include the artist’s name, age, and phone number on the back of the design.

Encourage your children to submit their design!  All of the masterpieces will be displayed at the Festival which will be held at Windham High School on Saturday, June 2nd. The winner will be recognized at the Festival and will receive game tickets and other prizes. If you have questions or need any additional information, please contact Kim Capici at 978-852-8054.
