Endangered Species Art Contest

by

Every year on the third Friday in May, thousands of people around the world participate in Endangered Species Day by celebrating, learning about, and taking action to protect threatened and endangered species.

Using any form of art, create a piece of original artwork that highlights an endangered species. This can include plants or animals.

Please submit your creation to the Pember by May 18.

Judging will occur in four categories on May 21. Prizes for teens and adults will be gift certificates and for children, there will be an animal-themed gift basket.

  • Children
  • Teens
  • Adults
  • Staff

Artwork will be on display until the end of June. Photos of each entry will be added to our Facebook pages and websites for virtual viewing. In person viewing will be limited to our open hours and follow pandemic guidelines.

To learn more about endangered species visit the Pember Museum. Miss Bernie has a list of endangered species that are included in our collection.

The Summer Reading program inspires children, teens and families to keep reading and continue to develop lifelong learning skills. The Pember Library has teamed with the Southern Adirondack Library System and NY State to bring you ReadSquared, an online way to keep track of your summer reading. There will also be a mobile app available. Sign up at the above link and start your reading. For book lists and info for parents see Summer Reading at New York Libraries.

You can also sign up by coming into the library. Sign up forms will be available after April 15.

This year’s slogan is “Tails and Tales” and the theme is animal stories. There are five different categories:

  • Pre-K Read
  • Children Read
  • Teens Read
  • Adult
  • 1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Each category gives you the chance to earn badges, to have missions, to open up games all while logging your (or your child’s) reading.

The program runs from now through the end of September. We will try to add some specials for you, perhaps a performer or musician. Keep an eye out here and on our facebook page for further information.
