Dog Days at Scotch Plains Public Library
In honor of Adopt-a-Shelter Dog Month, the Scotch Plains Public Library will be hosting a series of events throughout October.
To kick off the month, the library will host an art gallery reception on Thursday, October 10 at 7 pm. This reception will feature the dog-related exhibits of local artists Vicki Parker and Leeza Hernandez. We will also be leaving one wall open for YOU and other community members to display photographs, art work, and writings about your favorite canines. They do not have to be shelter dogs — we love ‘em all!
If you would like to contribute to the dog-related art exhibit, please bring your framed or foamboard-mounted creation, 5×7 to 8.5 x11 inches to the Reference Desk any time the library is open from September 23 through October 28. Be sure to include this information: Title of work and name of artist (to be seen by all) and your contact information (to be used by library staff only).
