The Library in People’s Lives: OlyBabies

December 16th, 2009 § 0

From the packet this month:

Olybabies promotes Book Babies program at Olympia!

We have a large and dedicated group attending our Book Babies program at Olympia. Little did we know that some of these parents were using technology to network and support each other as parents of young babies! We were surprised that on their own they were advertising our Book Babies program on their site. The site is called Olybabies: a gathering space for mamas and papas of OlyBabies. Parents of young children can often feel isolated, but new social networking software can ease those transitions. Check out Olybabies: a gathering space for mamas and papas of OlyBabies: http://olybabies.ning.com/.

Thirty-six artists are participating in this fundraiser for the library. There will be a different group of artists on each weekend. For each show there will be a nice mix of different media: paintings, photography, fine pottery, jewelry, glass and glass painting and more. Many of the established artists we contacted agreed to do this event just to help out the library. Hurray for our community! So come see the work, meet the artists and support your library while doing your holiday shopping.

We also have a great raffle piece of a beautiful hooked wall hanging, donated by a wonderful artist from Nova Scotia who had heard about our first-time effort. One of her rugs was chosen by the family for a British Royal Wedding as a gift.
