 Did you miss the video that we showed during the Library Centennial Town Fair this past Wednesday, or would you just like to see it again? We have DVDs available for purchase and for borrowing, and our good friend Martha Lardent, who directed and produced the video, has given us an edited version which you can watch right now on YouTube!

Our sincere THANKS! to everyone who made Wednesday possible, especially Andy Richmond and Ann Malpass, Sarah Labadie and the Centennial Town Players, Alex Herlihy, Rye Police officers, and the Friends and Trustees of Rye Public Library who baked pies, directed visitors, made signs, stood in the rain, booked our musicians and singers and magician and puppeteer, produced and directed Look! A Library!, directed traffic, painted faces, sang, played, served food. We estimate that at least 500 people came through our doors during the four hours of the Town Fair. Last but not least, THANKS! to all of YOU for coming and enjoying and making it such a success.
Come back soon, and stay tuned for news of another event in September, when we observe the 1911 dedication of the original building.
