Powell’s Snowmen displayed at Bristol Indiana Library on Sat. Feb. 7, 2015. Linda Powell’s snowmen are still in season and now on display in both library display cases at the Bristol, Indiana Library. Part of her large collection of holiday decor that she has been collecting for over 30 years, these snowmen hadn’t been put out this year and were still in their totes. When Daryl Schrock, Director of the Bristol Library put out a call for a new mid-winter display, Powell agreed to bring out her snowmen. Powell’s two favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas, and her indoor and outdoor decor are popular attractions on a busy corner of Bristol. Her home, once owned by Dr. Barbour for many years, is the perfect place for her Powell and her husband, both interested in local history. If you have a collection that you’d like to display at the Bristol Library in either the full display case in the main library room, or in the smaller case in the lobby of the library, give Daryl at call at the library at 574-7458. She’ll help you with the details for picking a month to show off your hobby or collection for all to see.

The Summer Reading Club was a big hit this year with hundreds of kids participating and reading all Summer long. Any kid who read at least 30 books got their picture taken and was added to the train on the wall in the Juvenile section of the library.

Thomas Annan (1829-1887), who lived most of his life in Glasgow, trained and worked as a copperplate engraver until 1853, when he started a calotype printing business, probably with the encouragement of his friend David Octavius Hill. In 1857 he established a photographic studio, T. & R. Annan located in Sauchiehall Street from which he produced portraits, photographic reproductions of works of art and architectural photographs. Annan acquired the Scottish rights to the carbon print process shortly after its invention by Joseph Wilson Swan in 1866. He first used this process commercially to reproduce D. O. Hill's painting the Signing of the Deed of Demission. An astute businessman, Annan also acquired the British patent rights in the 'heliogravure' or photogravure process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot and developed by Karel Klic.

Yarra Plenty Regional Library's Diamond Valley Library (Civic Drive, Greensborough) closed in February for an exciting renovation! Work began on 22 February and is expected to be complete by mid-winter.
Diamond Valley Library was built in 1984 and extended in 1993, but since then there have been significant changes to the way that libraries are used, to community needs, and to the technology we use. This renovation will ensure that the library serves the local community well for many years to come.
The work, worth $1.27 million is funded by Nillumbik Shire Council and the State Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program and will see major upgrades to the building, including a brand-new roof. Other features will include a parents’ room, fully accessible gender-neutral toilets, a new community room, meeting pods, tech pods, and an outdoor deck to allow library users to work or lounge in the thriving community garden. There will also be a co-working zone for entrepreneurs and micro-businesses, with a space for training, workshops, and to brainstorm.
