The New Providence Memorial Library is celebrating Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month this May! For a complete list of activities and collections that celebrate Asian heritage and artists of Asian heritage, please see https://www.newprovidencelibrary.org/books/reading-rec/asian-american-pacific-islander-heritage-month
Learn from a master!
Prof. Coco will help you examine famous paintings in both acrylic and oil, describing how the artists applied the paints, the differences between artists’ methods, and aesthetics. You will also learn about how brushes, canvas, and pigments are manufactured; pigment and solvent chemistry; linen vs. canvas types and uses; and types of brushes and their different applications. For comparison, ancient materials and tools will be discussed.
You will then work on your own small canvases for an hour in acrylic, then a separate hour in oils. Prof Coco will spend time with each person and help you as needed.
A critique discussing composition resolution and follow through will end the program. An analysis of symmetry, color tonality, and use of symbolism will also be taking place.
Please register online at: https://hackettstownlibrary.org/event/painting-materials-methods-aesthetics-with-prof-joe-coco-mfa/

How do we organize picture books, anyway? 🤔 Here’s our method: all picture books are organized alphabetically by the author’s last name. 🤓 Does this make it much easier to find things? Yes. 🙌 Is it easily disrupted? You bet! 👍
But there are some exceptions- for example, we have holiday and seasonal books separated out for easy access! 📚 Looking for a particular topic or genre? Just ask at one of our service desks and we’re happy to help you find everything you need. 😁

The worst one wins!

As graduation dates creep ever closer, the NJ Higher Education Student Assistance Authority is committed to arming students and parents with the information necessary to understand repaying student loans and how to pay for graduate school. The feelings of joy and accomplishment after graduation can quickly fade as the real world of financial obligations start to set in.

So... you don’t want to show us your library card, huh? 🤔 You have 2 options in this scenario, let’s break them down 😎:
Option 1) Download the “MAIN Library Alliance” app & connect your library card to your phone (it’s quick, free, and let’s be real, you’ll never forget that 😜). All you need is your library barcode number (enter with no spaces) and your 4-digit pin (if you don’t remember it, no sweat- call us up to reset any time) and you’re totally set! 🤩 Plus, you can add multiple accounts (i.e. putting your kid’s/spouse’s card on your account so you can pick up their holds- just make sure you have their consent) to make checkout even easier! 🤯
or
Option 2) MAKE THE T-SHIRT. 😂🤣 But how? 🤨 We think you can guess by now... the HCL Makerspace! Sign up for an Intro to: Direct-to-Garment Printing class to get certified on our garment printer so you can make as many barcode shirts as your heart desires- and/or: sign up for an Intro to Sublimation class for another method of printing your barcode on a diverse variety of items (bookmarks, mugs, mousepads, and more!). 😍 But why limit yourself to just your library barcode? Rotisserie chickens, gym memberships, loyalty cards... the possibilities are truly endless. 😁
Which option are you choosing?
