Jerry Barlow, Celtic Guitarist at the Pioneer Memorial Library!

Jerry Barlow came to the Pioneer Memorial Library for December's Booked For Lunch! The crowd of attendees enjoyed Jerry's playing of Celtic music. His historical information on many of his songs was a delight to our patrons. His humor and self-deprecation was also very enjoyable. It is evident that hours of practice make it possible for Jerry to play with such skill and nimble dexterity. This presentation was provided by funds given through the Garvey Foundation.

Pippa White performs at the Pioneer Memorial Library

Actress and Storyteller Pippa White kept the patrons at the Pioneer Memorial Library spell bound as she performed her program entitled "Voices Of Ellis Island." Her character, voices and basic costuming changed so fluidly that we were taken into her space. We felt and understood a lot more just a little about what the immigrants would have felt.

Pippa White also performed at the Colby Middle School the program "Orphan Train." Students, teachers and administrators were greatly affected by her presentation. Students and teachers from other local schools were invited to attend as well.  The Pioneer Memorial Library was able to bring her to the local school through special grant funds. We believe in partnering with others to enhance our community.
