Artist of the Month

Every month the Lower Macungie Library displays original framed artwork by a different member of the Parkland Art League. The art exhibited is available for purchase. 
Throughout the month of July, the library is featuring original oil paintings by Maur Levan.  In addition to belonging to the Parkland Art League, the artist is also a member of the Bethlehem Palette Club.  Maur has studied locally at Cedar Crest College and abroad at the Verrocchio Art Centre in Casole de Elsa, Italy.  From 2002 to 2003, Maur’s art was included in the Annual Pennsylvania Senior Arts Festival at the Capitol Building in Harrisburg.  

The Village of East Texas Exhibit

An exhibit of 19th and 20th century artifacts from East Texas is now on display at the Lower Macungie Library.   Many of the items feature Butz Brothers General Store, photos of East Texas war veterans, and group photos of classes from the East Texas two-room schoolhouse.  The original clock from the East Texas Union Sunday School is also on display.  The items are on loan from members of the Lower Macungie Township Historical Society.
The exhibit will be available for viewing throughout the summer months during normal library hours:   Mon. 10-9, Tue.-Thu. 10-8, Fri.-Sat. 9-5.
 

New Bookworm Totes for Kids (and “Big” Kids too!)

If you are like most parents, every time you visit the Lower Macungie Library with your kids you end up going home with an armload full of books. Noticing so many moms and dads leaving the library with more books than they could carry, the library created the perfect solution – Bookworm Tote Bags for Kids! (Bags are fun for “big” kids too.) The Kelly green totes are being sold for $5 and were designed by LML Children’s Librarian “Miss Erin.” They feature a friendly bookworm design and the phrase “I’m a Bookworm @ Lower Macungie Library.” The library continues to sell its larger blue “LML” tote bags for $10.
