It's time once again for the annual Thornton Wilder Writing Competition. Students from all Connecticut public, private, and parochial high schools students are invited to submit their one-act plays, short stories, essays, poetry, or selections from longer works for the chance to win a cash prize.
"Inspired Innovations: A Celebration of Shaker Ingenuity" is the title of an exhibition now on display till April 11, 2010 at the New Britain Museum of American Art. If you are a Hamden resident with a valid library card you can check out a free museum pass to the New Britain Museum of American Art which admits four people at no charge. The pass can be checked out overnight at the info desk at Miller Library. The museum passes are funded by the Friends of the Hamden Library. Check our collection for books on the Shakers. Our most recent acquisition is: Stillness and Light: the silent eloquence of Shaker Architecture by Henry Plummer.
