<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">We just added two more STATE PARK passes for circulation. Just in time for a beautiful weekend!<br /><br />
The passes can be checked out by Hamden residents with valid Hamden Public Library cards. One pass per family. The pass covers cost of parking, where there is a parking charge. Parking fees are charged at all four state park beaches on Long Island Sound as well as several inland parks. Also covers admission for two adults and four children at state historical sites and exhibit centers at Dinosaur, Fort Trumbull and Gillette Castle State Parks. Enjoy! </span>

Congratulations to Hamden Public Library's own Nancy McNicol, winner of the 2012 Connecticut Library Association Special Achievement Award. Each year, CLA honors an individual who has implemented a significant project or initiated an innovative program which has had significant impact on the library, the community, or the library profession this year. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the spring of 2011, Hamden Public Library’s Associate Director, Nancy McNicol initiated plans to celebrate the life and works of Hamden native, former U.S. Poet Laureate and 2011 recipient of the National Medal of Arts, Donald Hall. She partnered with various Hamden agencies, the Mayor’s Office, the Connecticut Poetry Society and a number of town residents to bring the plans to fruition. On the evening of September 16th, more than 300 friends and poetry lovers paid tribute to Mr. Hall. He rewarded his audience with reminiscences of growing up in Hamden and readings of his poems. We are all thankful for Nancy's tireless effort creating this remarkable event, and grateful to the Connectict Library Association for recognizing her outstanding acheivement!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05619846900803617491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430128652651111433.post-69273451029281045792012-05-08T12:38:00.000-04:002012-05-09T20:20:08.368-04:00Maurice Sendak, 1928-2012Maurice Sendak, an award-winning author-illustrator best known for children's picture books, passed away Tuesday, May 8, 2012. The cause was complications due to a stroke. He was 83.<br />
<a href="http://204.60.65.196/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=1XX64F4391812.102010&profile=mill&source=%7E%21horizon&view=subscriptionsummary&uri=full=3100001%7E%21542285%7E%211&ri=1&aspect=subtab13&menu=search&ipp=20&spp=20&staffonly=&term=Sendak,+Maurice&index=.AW&uindex=&aspect=subtab13&menu=search&ri=1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://www.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&isbn=0062051989/LC.GIF&client=hamdp&upc=&oclc=" width="320" /></a><br />
Born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 10, 1928, Sendak grew up sickly; his talent for drawing was developed in part because drawing helped him pass time while confined to his bed. Before becoming an illustrator, Sendak was a window decorator for toy retailer F.A.O. Schwartz. Through their children's book buyer, he was introduced to Ursula Nordstrom, the children's book editor at publisher Harper & Row. That collaboration led Sendak to work as a commissioned illustrator and, later, an author of children's books himself.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">"The creation of gardens was among the first achievements of early
civilizations, and garden design was already highly developed in
antiquity. Pictures of gardens are a reflection of the social,
historical, and aesthetic context in which gardens were conceived. The
focus of this captivating book is not the gardens themselves or the
different concepts of the garden, but rather the representation of
gardens in paintings. The author examines why artists paint gardens by
covering the varied and lively 2,000-year history of the garden picture
using 180 masterpieces of gardens as examples. The text begins with a
look at ancient Rome, when paintings of gardens, as found in villas in
Pompeii, were already valued as works of art. The wide-ranging coverage
also includes pictures of charming medieval gardens in books of hours;
Botticelli's masterwork La Primavera, set in a grove of orange trees;
views of well-known historic gardens, such as those at Versailles;
painter's gardens, as for example, Monet's Giverny; and modern gardens
depicted by Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, and David Hockney, among others.
For collectors of art history books and garden books, this lovely volume
should appeal to a broad audience."</span><br />
