Well, we didn't quite meet our goal by June 15th but we have a few more days in our fiscal year to get us over the line. So far, you have donated over $7,500 towards improvements to our gardens and grounds and we are so grateful!
Thank you everyone who has given so far and if you were considering donating and haven't yet, now is your chance.

Have you seen all the sunshine and flowers lately? Let’s get outside! This spring, we are launching a fundraising appeal for improvements to our gardens and outdoor space.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 by June 15 to begin this project and provide an interactive area for more outdoor programming, events, and activities. By making these changes, the library will continue to be more than a place for books.

For more information or to make a donation, please visit our website at https://topshamlibrary.org/support/spring-fundraising-appeal/
Your support helps the library bloom beyond its walls.

Currently in the Crooker Gallery at Topsham Public Library: artwork by Barbara Bean.

View Barbara's selection of assemblage, fabric florals, and more through 6/28.

"Assemblage makes use of salvage that has been altered and refit to form a new idea--a sculptural one. Materials are used to express and to communicate. The work requires the skills and techniques employed by the painter, draftsman, woodworker, printmaker, fiber artist and metal worker. Assemblage is often three-dimensional in form, novel in its conception, and humorous in its delivery." - Barbara Bean

Here we go again! My my... how can you resist it?

It's time for another "Bling Date with a Book" (or whatever item you think could use an extra sparkle). ✨

Join us for this special, after hours program. We'll provide the materials, the movie, and the popcorn. You bring your item to bedazzle and (and your already-dazzling self).

Registration is required and spots are limited. Register at the circulation desk when you visit the library, or email Kelsie: [email protected]
