ANNUAL ART LECTURE Local resident Sven Siemen made a generous donation to the library in the
1990’s. The funds are earmarked specifically for art resources and programs. Each year the interest on the original investment enables the library to purchase
materials which enrich our collections and services in the arts. The annual Siemen Lecture, hosted by the library in late spring, features an artist, art critic, or curator as guest
speaker. The lecture is offered free of charge to attendees. All interested in the arts are encouraged to attend. Watch the spring and summer issues of the newsletter
for details. If you have any questions, please contact Carol Devir at 508-760-4820.
