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. Teens invited to book discussions Teens of all ages are invited to partake in summer book discussions at the Glen Rock Public Library. These informal sessions will meet on Mondays at 7:30 p.m. for students in grades six through eight, and on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. for those in grades nine through 12. This opportunity to explore some revered teen titles is sponsored by the Friends of the Glen Rock Public Library. Sign-up sheets are located at the reference desk, along with copies of the books. Reg- 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. Seniors plan trips The Glen Rock Senior Citizens Club has planned two summer trips.

He is nurtured by his gentle, loving mother, terrorized by his father. � ����������������� ���������� ���� ������� �������������� ����������������������� ������������� �������� ����������������������� ������������ ��������������������������� ���������� ���� �������� ��������� ������ ��������� ������������� ������ ������ ������ �������� ���� ���� ���� ������������ ��������������������� ������������������� ��������������� ����������������������������� ������������������������� � ������������� ��������� ��� �������� ������������������ ������������������ ������� �������������� ���������������������������� �������������������������������� ������������������� ������������ ���������� ��������������������������� ������������ ��������������� ������������������ �������� ��������������� � ����������� ����� ��������������������������������������������� �������� ���� ������ � �� � ���� ��������� ������ � ���� �������� ���� ��������������������� ���� ������� � ���������������� �������������������� �������������������� ���������������� ���������� ������� ������ �������� ����������� ���������� ����������������������������� ������������� ������������������������ �������������������������������� ��������������������� ������������� ������������ ���������������� ������������������ �������������������� ����������������������
