Scholarship Winner!
Joshua Dingman wins the Anna Mae Auchmoedy / Lottie Burns Scholarship 2018

Every Spring the Friends of the Rosendale Library give a $800 scholarship to a graduating high school senior. The money is to be used for college expenses. Students from Rondout Valley, Kingston, Coleman and New Paltz high schools who live in the Rosendale Library district may apply.

This year’s winner is Joshua Dingman from Rondout Valley high school. He will be attending SUNY New Paltz in the Fall. He will be majoring in Classical Performance on the Alto Sax. As Joshua says, “Libraries influence community life because they ARE community life. Libraries are central in our towns and villages and they are the primary source for the culture and history of the area.”
We wish Joshua all the best as he begins his journey in college.

Anna Mae Auchmoedy was the woman we have to thank for the original idea of the Rosendale Library. Anna Mae and the Comus Club of Rosendale started our library in 1940. The Women’s Club of Rosendale was key in promoting and supporting our young library. Lottie Burns worked very closely with Anna Mae for many years.

Library in the Memorial Day Parade!

This picture shows Jo Ann Reuben and Carl Welden at the Rosendale Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 28, 2018. The sign was created by Carl to call attention to the library’s upcoming 60th Anniversary. Also marching in the parade to support the library were Beth King, Cherilyn Craig and Craig Zisman from the library board, Mary Potratz from the Friends of Rosendale Library and Ann Van Damm, our staff person in charge of Children’s Programming. We enjoyed handling out candy and thanking many library supporters along the way!

Are You Good At Connecting with People?

The Friends of Rosendale Library are looking for a volunteer to help with PR for our many, wonderful events.

This task would involve emailing press releases to our publicity contacts (we have a list) and following up with these publications to see if they would include an article on our event.

If you love your library and want to help but are not able to attend our Friends meetings this could be the job for you.

Please contact me at the library.

Connections Between Art and Children's Literature

What did the Rosendale Library, Picasso, the book “A Fish out of Water” and local residents have in common???? A series of art sessions that Arts Mid Hudson helped sponsor, through the NYS decentralized grant program’s 2018 program “Connections between Art and Children’s Literature” led by artist Jill Obrig in a 4 week program from April 4 through April 25th, with a public exhibition at the library on Friday, April 27th that ran from 5:30-7pm.
Participants' ages spanned from 3 to 75 years as generations of the same families worked together or side by side, imagining and executing their own pieces of art inspired by different cultures (Spain -Pablo Picasso’s ceramic vessels) with the reading of the book (“A Fish out of Water”)
From this first adventure, participants came to three more sessions, using a variety of materials from clay, to paper, to multimedia, to metal! All had a great experience learning and having fun, together. “Creating family based activities that brings memories as well as beautiful artwork done together, is what my goal was, and it was achieved successfully in this program”
Jill Obrig
