Pat O will teach us more quilling or feel free to join us if you have a project you are working on and just like to chat while you are crafting.
Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. Pre-registration is not required, materials provided. Beginners welcome. For information, call 518-642-2525.
Here are some samples of cards it’s possible to make using quilling.
A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pember Library and Museum will be held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Pember. This is a regular meeting and open to the public.

The book club decided to read more of Mark Kurlansky's books. They are well-done and interesting. They also plan to read 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann for their November meeting. More info will posted.
The book club will discuss books written by Mark Kurlansky. He has had 23 books published including fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books. Cod, Salt, 1968, and Food of a Younger Land were all New York Times Best Sellers. His most recent title is Birdseye: The Adventures of a Curious Man.
A biography of Clarence Birdseye, the inventor of frozen food and one of the last of the eccentric inventors who solved problems with odd scraps in his basement.
Here’s a link to the New Stuff added.
Some highlights:
We have lots of VHS movies and audio books on cassette that didn’t make it to the summer sale. We will have a special sale of these items on September 29, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
There may also be some paperbacks for sale.
All proceeds will benefit the Pember book acquisition fund.
A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pember Library and Museum will be held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Pember. This is a regular meeting and open to the public.
There will be a meeting of the Friends of the Pember Library at 2:00 PM September 18. We will evaluate the book sale, plan future fundraising and hopefully have a volunteer to take the position of treasurer.
Taradiddle will once again entertain us with songs and stories following our summer reading theme of “Dream Big: Read” and “Own the Night”
From the slightly spooky Strange Visitor to the definitely unpleasant Terrible Nung Guama, you never know who—or what—might come calling in the still of the night. (Don’t be overly alarmed—Santa is the most famous night visitor of all, you know!) Storytelling duo Taradiddle will bring tales and tunes of Night Visitors to the Pember Library on Thursday, August 30th at 6:00PM in an interactive program for the whole family. Price of admission? One knock-knock joke!
Storytelling duo Jean Roberts and Daphne Bartholomew (Taradiddle) are former public librarians with over 20 years experience sharing tales and tunes in library and school settings—from a summer program in the tiniest library to a literacy celebration in a school gym. The audience is always invited to join in as Daphne and Jean weave together stories and songs from sources old and new into engaging, theme-based programs. Their goal is to reintroduce children and families to the pleasures of live performance and their favorite compliment is when a parent or child reports passing on a story first heard at a Taradiddle event.
