Crandall Public Library received a grant
\nof $22,800 from the locally-based Leo Cox
\nBeach Foundation to support four library
\nprojects over the next year.<\/p>\n
Library officials said a portion of the
\ngrant will fund efforts to expand the library’s
\nbenefit to the community through
\nbrand development. Crandall staff will consult
\nwith professionals to establish a clear,
\nconsistent message that defines the role of
\nthe library and improves public awareness
\nof its programs and services.<\/p>\n
The grant also supports the “Living
\nMyth” storytelling program, a one-time,
\ninteractive family event presented by
\naward-winning storyteller Diane Edgecomb.
\nThe program builds upon the
\nteachings of the Children’s Department at
\nCrandall, encouraging imagination and a
\nlove of reading.
\nThe remaining funds were granted to the Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library for two projects: The professional conservation treatment and protection of a 19th century map and the Spring 2014 Live! Folklife Concert Series.<\/p>\n
Conservation work on the map, an 1860 Smith Map of New York state, will be completed by the Northeast Document Conservation Center in Andover, Mass. It will then be framed using proper archival materials to protect it from future damage. When returned, it will be placed on view in the Folklife Center’s Albert Fowler Reading Room and available as a valuable resource for researchers.<\/p>\n
The music series will correspond with the Folklife Center’s spring exhibition, “Celebrating Women’s Creative Hands & Spirits,” and will feature ethnic music groups from the Capital District and Westchester County, in cooperation with the New York Folklore Society and the Westchester Arts Council.<\/p>\n
