Library to Offer Amnesty on Fines during Kaleidoscope Celebration
On Saturday, June 14, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., the Talbot County Free Library will present Kaleidoscope, a celebration of all that we make and enjoy in life. Prof. Dale Green of Morgan State University will present his latest assessment of—and a display of artifacts from—his students’ archaeological excavations in Easton’s historic Free Black neighborhood: The Hill. Geographer Cathy Cooper will teach you how to use GIS to find just about anything in the world. Diana Hastings will teach you the ancient art of making marbled paper (think of the beautifully colored endpapers you’ve seen in finely bound books). The Dolly Parton Imagination Library will sign children 5 and under up for free books. There will be displays on book-making, pottery painting, fiber art, and gardening. 4-H and Horn Point Lab will both have exciting presentations on display. There will be free music and free food: hot dogs, lemonade, popcorn, and sno-cones.
And there will be an amnesty on all over-due charges! If you have a book or DVD you’ve been embarrassed to return because it’s so late, this is the day when you can bring it back to the library and see your fines erased from your record at no cost to you! (Note: This amnesty does not apply to patrons who have lost items or patrons whose accounts are so far in arrears they have been sent to a collection agency.)
All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons do not need to pre-register to attend Kaleidoscope. For more information, call the library at 410-822-1626, or visit www.tcfl.org.
