What would you call a roomful of art dioramas made of dressed up marshmallows and cardboard? We’re calling it the First Annual Pember Peeps Contest and it’s happening on Friday, May 3 for First Friday at The Pember Library and Museum in Granville, NY.
There are a dozen creations already submitted by members of the community, and more coming in daily. Peeps artists will be competing for the “PEEPle’s Choice” Award along with a twenty five dollar gift certificate for Edwards Market. A ballot box will be available for the public to cast their votes. To name a few of the themes: Peeper Museum, Story time with Miss Peeps and Peep-pei.
“Peeps art is very popular nationwide, and it’s really amazing how ordinary marshmallow figures get sculpted, dressed, back dropped and creatively arranged to express a theme,” said Ardyce Bresett, Pember Library Director. “It is family-friendly fun for all ages. Be sure to mark your calendar. Power to the Peeps…”
First Friday is May 3, from 7 to 9 pm and is a free event. A music play list will be provided.
We all have those crafts we thought we’d love and bought all the supplies for, then discovered it wasn’t as much fun as we thought it would be.
Just some of the wonderful items that have been donated!
Please donate your gently used or new craft items to the Pember by April 17. You will have the opportunity on April 24, 4-7 PM, to purchase items you didn’t realize you couldn’t live without. Prices will range from $.10 up to $10.
Crafts from Acrylic Painting to Zentangle are acceptable. Let us know if you have any questions. ThePember.com , 518-642-2525. The Pember is located at 33 West Main St in Granville.
The Washington County Office for Aging Nutrition Program invites you to join nutritionist Kristin at the Pember Library, 33 West Main St in Granville, for a pop-up luncheon, April 18 at 11 AM. She will also help you plant a salad garden to bring home and enjoy! A tour of the Pember Museum will follow our luncheon. The Friends of the Pember Library will cover the $3 suggested donation for people over 60.
Please call 518-746-2420 X 3440 for a reservation at least one day in advance.
Join us for a discussion April 26, 11 AM, at the Pember Library about how to talk to your doctor and take an active part in your health care decisions. Marlene Bryant and Brenda Tyler from Granville Family Health will lead the discussion.
(I sent the wrong date to the Granville Sentinel. Friday, April 26 is the correct date.)

Spring Break Programs (Visit the Museum’s Programs page)
This year’s book club will feature stories from the Adirondacks and other nearby places. Our first get together will be April 12 at 5PM. The book we will read is “A Northern Light” by Jennifer Donnelly. Order your copy through the library catalog, or call/come in to the library.
Goodreads says: “Sixteen-year-old Mattie Gokey has big dreams but little hope of seeing them come true. Desperate for money, she takes a job at the Glenmore, where hotel guest Grace Brown entrusts her with the task of burning a secret bundle of letters. But when Grace’s drowned body is fished from the lake, Mattie discovers that the letters could reveal the grim truth behind a murder.
Set in 1906 against the backdrop of the murder that inspired Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy, Jennifer Donnelly’s astonishing debut novel effortlessly weaves romance, history, and a murder mystery into something moving, and real, and wholly original.”
The group can decide during that meeting how often we will meet and what books we will be reading the rest of the year.

The Pember Board of Trustees usually meets the third Thursday of each month at 6 PM. We will not have a meeting on March 21 or April 18. Instead, our meeting will be held Thursday, April 4 at 6 PM at the Pember.

All visible parts of your diorama should be decorated.
All characters in your scene should be made using Peeps .®

Here are the 100 children’s books that were donated to us by the Pilcrow Foundation with the help of the Friends of the Pember Library. Look for them in various places in the library. Most are in the children’s room on top of the bookcase. Nonfiction for older children is in the window in the main room. And fiction for older children is on top of the book case near the copier. Please come in and “check them out.”
Lots of people have shared their pet’s photos for our bulletin board. If you have a pet pic you’d like to add, send it to us at pember.library(at)gmail.com or through our FaceBook page.
Due to the weather forecast and the fact that schools are closing early, the Library will be closing at 1:00PM today and the Museum will not be opening. We apologize for any inconvenience.
