Our library has just received a gift of 100 new children’s books, ranging from pre-kindergarten through early readers. These books were a donation from the Brownstone Book Fund, a private foundation in New York City, interested in fostering early reading, a love of books and encouraging parents and children to read together. Come to the library to explore and enjoy our new collection.
There will be no fines for items made late because of the closing.
The Pember Library presents PUSHING THE LIMITS, a reading, viewing, and discussion program for adults in communities served by rural libraries made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
Unleash your mind…explore and get involved in ideas about knowledge, connections, nature and survival in a 4-part series for adults at the Pember Library in Granville.
Dylan O’Leary, a local science expert will join us to view two short videos and discuss the topics and recommended books. We will have several copies of the books available for checkout at the library before each program, but you do not need to read the book to attend the program. Each program promises to be engaging and thought-provoking, and we hope you will join us!
The second in the series will be held on Sunday, February 19 at 1:00 PM. This program is an investigation into how humans have continuously sought to expand their own knowledge and to pass it on to others. Whether through oral traditions and primitive technologies, or through new high tech advances, we constantly push our limits for gathering, archiving, and transmitting knowledge.
In subsequent discussions, we will explore how humans push the limits of nature with TC Boyle’s book “When the Killing’s Done,” and push the limits of survival with Clive Cussler’s book “Arctic Drift.”
Light snacks with coffee or water will be provided.

A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pember Library and Museum will be held on the third Thursday of each month at the Pember. This is a regular meeting and open to the public. See Upcoming Events Calendar for dates of meetings.
The Pember Library and Museum will host an open workshop along with a display of workshop art – “Art in the Making” on Friday, February 3 at First Friday.
“Workshops are vital places for artists to hone their vision and skills,” said Pember Board President Mary King. “First Friday will be both a workshop and an exhibition, with open call for artists at all levels of experience to participate or submit work at all stages of completion for the show.”
The workshop demonstration will consist of drawing and painting from a special still life subject from the Pember Museum, with materials supplied by the Museum. Workshop art in any medium may be submitted for the exhibition, which will run through February. Artwork need not be framed.
First Friday would not be First Friday without live music, and we are pleased to have Phil Hoyt back in the saddle to entertain with his guitar and traditional country songs.
Across the footbridge, the Slate Valley Museum will be opening their exhibition “Artists of the Slate Valley”, works of area elementary and high school students inspired by slate and living in the Slate Valley
First Friday starts at 7:00 p.m. and runs until 9:00. First Friday is always free.
