Art quilts on exhibit The “Make a Splash at the Library” theme this summer has been extended to include original works of art. The beautiful art quilts displayed in the library this summer are the work of Glen Rock resident Lynne Brotman. Brotman’s work combines a variety of fabrics, including cotton, silk, organza, mesh, and burlap. She hand-dyes many of the fabrics using various techniques such as Japanese Shibori, silk painting, oils, ink, and marbling. Many of the pieces are hand embellished with beads, paper, stamping, batiking, appliqué and thread painting. The Glen Rock Public Library is located at 315 Rock Road. ESL classes suspended for summer ESL classes at the Glen Rock Library that are held on Monday afternoons have been cancelled for the summer. Classes will resume in September. Book group plans fall discussion The Glen Rock Library’s Neighbors Book Discussion group will be on hiatus until the first Monday in October. The October title for discussion will be “Call it Sleep” by Henry Roth. Protagonist David Schearl is an overwrought, phobic, and dangerously imaginative little boy. He has come to New York with his East European Jewish parents, and now, in the years between 1911 and 1913, he is exposed, shock by shock, to the blows of slum life. He is nurtured by his gentle, loving mother, terrorized by his father. When Roth published this debut novel in 1934, it was greeted with considerable critical acclaim, though, in those troubled times, lackluster sales. Books were hard to sell in the Depression years, and the novel quickly dropped out of sight. Only with its paperback publication in 1964 did the novel receive the recognition it deserves. “Call it Sleep” was the first paperback ever to be reviewed on the front page of The New York Times Book Review, and it proceeded to sell millions of copies both in the United States and around the world. For more information and to secure a copy of the book, contact the library at (201) 670-3970. Deadline is Wednesday at noon. Break the Highway Trend! ...not your community’s back.
