As 2022 is drawing to a close, we had to point out a neat architectural detail on our building— the downspout with the year 1922 in an Art Nouveau font. Why 1922? The building was designed in 1921 by Stewardson and Page under the direction of Mary Irick Drexel herself. The exterior construction was done in 1922 and the interior finished in 1923, with our dedication in memory of Sally Stretch Keen on June 18th, 1923.

We look forward to celebrating our 100th year in 2023!

Everyone is so busy getting ready for the upcoming holidays. Why not take a moment to relax with a good book? Stop by the library to pick up a new novel or maybe a cookbook to inspire a holiday menu? Or, just stop by to say HELLO, we would love to see you!

The library will be closed Thursday – Sunday and reopen Monday morning at 10 a.m. Have a happy, safe Thanksgiving.

We are very thankful for each and everyone one of you! See you Monday.

Not sure what to read next? Eager to talk about that fabulous novel you just read?

Stop by the library Saturday morning to visit our “Saturday Morning Cafe”. We’ll have hot coffee, cider, light snacks (fresh baked goods!?) and a lively discussion about all the great books we’ve been reading.

We look forward to seeing you!

The 2022 Local Art Exhibit and Sale will be held this evening and Saturday afternoon at the library. Local scenes by over 20 artists will be on display in the historic Vincentown Library. Afterwards, stop next store to enjoy a light wine and cheese refreshment.

We’re looking forward to a SUNNY Saturday, September 24th for Arts in the Village.

Be sure to stop to pick up a few good titles at the library book sale, and grab a cup of coffee and snack at Sally’s Cafe while the kids create a beaded Autumnal Jewel – Indian corn!

Today was such a glorious day to get outdoors…and we did just that! We took our paints, brushes and canvas boards behind the library to paint. That “bit” of summer breeze hardly discouraged our artists!

Thanks to all for coming out for summer programs.

I hope some of our art work will be returned on loan for display in our

Annual Art Exhibit & Sale, September 30th – October 1st

Thursday’s project was a paint and cut painted paper work based on Eric Carle’s

The Tiny Seed

A good “old” friend of the library has dedicated and shared some of her art to encourage young readers.

For a confirmation project Kate decided to give something back to the library, which gave her so much as she was growing up.  

All of the pictures are free hand drawings with marker and/or colored pencil. They’re beautiful!
