Morgan Peck (photo at top left) and Jackie Niscivoccia (photo directly above, center) created art inspired by Longfellow's Poetry, via their Phenomenal Photographs, and clearly their work is set in winter and snow. However, you CAN today think spring and green, as well as be part of The Big Read - and join us at Greenwood Gardens at 10 a.m. for a Tour of the Gardens and then a Poetry Reading by Caldwell Poet, Rick Mullin. Free and open to the public. Hope to see you there. (And, remember -- Morgan and Jackie's work, along with many others created by Mount Saint Dominic Academy students, are still on display at the Caldwell Public Library and will be there until the end of next week. C'mon over!)

Think GREEN, as in Greenwood Gardens, while still appreciating our Teens' Art

"Music as Muse" by Danielle Nichols
Only two weeks left to enjoy, appreciate and marvel at the talents of our youth - at least only two more weeks to visit The Gene & Kathryn Collerd Local History Resource Room at The Caldwell Public Library and see the Exhibit of Photographs by Linda Stewart's students at Mount Saint Dominic Academy.
Please stop in - and see how The Poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and The Big Read, can be relevant and transformative, in your life and your world. Hooray for the Arts!
(And keep a watch on the Progress and "Patch" to hear more about youth and art and Longfellow -- all who attended Sunday's concert at the Grover Cleveland Middle School were in awe - not only of the famed Longfellow Chorus hailing from Portland, Maine -- but of the 55 teens in the James Caldwell Chorus who sang as well - under the direction of Music Teacher Elsie Timpson.)

More Teen Art Work on Display at Caldwell Public Library
Teen Art Work on Display at Caldwell Public Library!
Monday, April 5, 2010
Illustrator Christopher Bing has returned to Massachusetts, but we are still feeling the effects in Caldwell!
We will all think differently as we read "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" and also look forward to adding another version of "Little Red Riding Hood" to our bookshelf come year's end.
Now, onward and upward and lets start making plans to enjoy our upcoming visit from The Longfellow Chorus from Portland, Maine. Conductor, Charles Kaufman, and a number of the Chorus Members will be coming to Caldwell on Saturday, April 17th to be guests at The Dapper Dans of Harmony concert that evening (First Presbyterian Church, Bloomfield Avenue, Caldwell, 7 p.m. - call 973-226-9414 for tickets). Then, on Sunday, April 18th The Longfellow Chorus will be performing at Grover Cleveland Middle School at 1 p.m. That event, a HIGHLIGHT of The Big Read this year, is free and open to the public. And, as an extra treat, Students from James Caldwell High School, under the direction of Elsie Timpson, will be joining the Chorus for a special number.
Call us at 973-226-2837 and/or check out our website -- www.caldwellpl.org -- for more information on both events.
