The Monroe Lending Library is the recipient of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation "Summertime Kids" Grant. "A is for Artist" will be our summer reading/craft program introducing children to the art of four main artist: Dale Chihuly, Jackson Pollack, Louise Nevelson and Charley Harper. This four week program will be open to the children of the Monroe Community, either as visitors from a locall summer care group or on Saturday mornings during our normal library hours. Our goals for this program are to share literature about and some of the famous art of these artist; show the differences and relationships between the artist and allow the children to create their own art similar to that of the artist whom we are studying each week. Projects the children will be making are Dale Chihuly plastic glass sculpture, Louise Nevelson junk art, Jackson Pollack rock splatter paint and Charley Harper wildlife. The "A is for Artist" progrm is scheduled for July 11, 18, 25 and August 1st. To register your child for this program, please stop by the Monroe Lending Library (behind the Monroe Primary School) during our open hours or call the Library at 370-0714. The four-week project will culminate in an art show, displaying all the children's art projects. We are planning a picnic party in conjunction with our art show handling out prizes to the children for their work.
