Calling all artists! We need some color on our walls at the Rock Springs Library. Will you help? Pick up a coloring sheet anytime the library is open and bring it back by the end of the month for a chance to win a fun prize!

This weeks book and art piece of the week is the pastel “Hillside Farm” and the book Painting the Landscape in Pastel by Albert Handel and Anita Louise West.

Hillside Farm was done by artist Grace Mortimer Sherwood, 1918-1988, of Garden City, Long Island, NY.

There is very little information about her available, but we do know that she was part of the Nassau Art League, also called the Art League of Nassau County (still in existence!) and that she had her work in several exhibitions at the Garden City Hotel.

She was also daughter of Grace Buchanan Sherwood, a poet elected to the Poetry Society of America and author of 2 books of verse.

Our records, from Elmer Halseth, indicate that “Hillside Farm” was in an exhibition at the aforementioned Garden City Hotel, and we were able to track down a newspaper article from the exact show from which the peice was purchased in 1942, thanks to the excellent online records of the Nassau Daily Review Star.

This is one of the peices donated to the school district through the philanthropy of NY Socialite Mrs. W.L. Wright of Long Island, who learned of the CFAC through a woman named Pegeen Sullivan. Who she is..we don’t know! That is research for another day.

If you’d like to see Mrs. Sherwoods art, or check out the book, stop in and see us!

Ice Cream Social to benefit the libraries and the CFAC coming up!

We're kicking off the Halloween fun a little early with a frightful FUNdraising event at Pin Up Coffee at the Train Depot.

This family-friendly event features a sneak peek of a few special visitors straight from the Wonderland chapter of the Twisted Tales Haunted Maze! 🌀 Enjoy Halloween music, photo opportunities with the Monsters, and, of course, delicious ice cream! Costumes welcomed!

Plus, 20% of all ice cream sales (or $1 per scoop, whichever is more) during the event will benefit the Sweetwater County Library Foundation - How SWEET is that?!

So bring the kids, dress up if you'd like, and don't be late for a very important date! After all, we're all mad here! 🎩

This event is free, but we kindly encourage you to purchase an ice cream while there 😁
