John Porcino at the Library

Many thanks to the Freedom Elementary School and the NH State Library's Kids, Books and the Arts grant for making it possible to bring storyteller John Porcino to Freedom to kick off the library's Summer Reading Program. It was a great afternoon and I hope it got the kids excited about all the great things happening at the library this summer... starting with the School's Out Party tomorrow after school!  Here are a few of pictures from John's performance.  Go to Photo Album on the library's website www.freedompubliclibrary.org for more.

The Library's First Tele-gathering

Green Mountain Conservation Group's Research Committee met at the library today to discuss research goals for the Ossipee watershed water quality monitoring program. They used Skype, the library's projector and a committee member's computer webcam to include participants from UNH who were not able to come in person to the meeting. The Skype participants were scientists from the University of New Hampshire who complemented the local PhD research scientists on the committee from this watershed.  The GMCG Executive Director, Program Manager and science program interns were also present.
