Bethel Public Library Celebrates Founder’s Day with Flowers, Fun and Music

Everyone is invited to join the Bethel Public Library as we celebrate Founder’s Day in September!

First up is the annual flower arranging exhibition and contest sponsored by the Library Board of Directors. All ages are invited to create a floral arrangement and exhibit it at the Library, with the option of entering the contest. Ribbons will be awarded in two age categories: children up to age 12, and adults and teens. Arrangements must be delivered to the Library on September 17 from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm, or on September 18 from 10:00 am. to 4:30 pm and must be accompanied by a completed submission form. Contest rules and submission forms are available at www.bethellibrary.org or in person at the Library.

On Monday September 21, two flower arranging workshops, led by professional floral designers from Alice’s Flower Shop, will be offered. The first, from 5:00 to 6:15 pm, is for children ages 5-12 years; the second workshop is for adults and teens (ages 13 years and up) and runs from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. All supplies will be provided. Registration is required and must be limited to 10 children and 12 adults/teens.

The celebration concludes on Thursday September 24 with a live music performance and presentation of “Historic Songs of American Work and Trades.” Join us at 7:00 pm when Rick Spencer returns to the Library to entertain and enlighten us in his inimitable way! Hear Rick perform songs about farmers, sailors, cowboys, peddlers, housewives, railroaders, and soldiers, and learn about the labor movement in America and the modern use of songs which describe work. Appropriate for ages 12+. Registration is required; please call 203-794-8756 x4 or go to the online calendar at www.bethellibrary.org

All Bethel Public Library events are open to the public and meet accessibility requirements for the disabled. Those needing special accommodations should contact the Library at least two weeks prior to the event to make arrangements.  Bethel Public Library, 189 Greenwood Avenue, Bethel, CT.

  1. Currently it seems like Drupal is the top blogging platform out there
    right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your
    blog?

  2. Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my
    blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good
    success. If you know of any please share. Kudos!

  3. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into
    starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or
    advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

  4. Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of us have created some nice methods and we are looking
    to swap techniques with other folks, please shoot me an e-mail if
    interested.

  5. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew
    of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was
    hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading
    your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  6. Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the
    pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

  7. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long
    comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless,
    just wanted to say superb blog!

  8. Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i
    was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise?

    I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  9. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do
    with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this
    is great blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

  10. It’s actually very complicated in this active life to listen news on TV, therefore I
    simply use world wide web for that purpose, and obtain the hottest information.

  11. With havin so much written content do you ever run into
    any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of completely unique
    content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it
    appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization.
    Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from
    being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  12. I do accept as true with all of the ideas you’ve presented to your post.
    They are really convincing and can certainly work.

    Still, the posts are too short for starters.
    Could you please lengthen them a bit from next time?
    Thank you for the post.

  13. You’re so interesting! I do not believe I have read through anything like that before.

    So great to discover someone with genuine thoughts on this topic.
    Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This site is one thing that is needed on the web, someone with some originality!

  14. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think about
    if you added some great graphics or video clips to give
    your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with
    images and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
    Amazing blog!

  15. Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say
    that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts.
    After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!

  16. Hello I am so thrilled I found your blog, I really found you by error, while I was searching on Digg for something else, Anyways I am here now and would just like to say
    thanks a lot for a incredible post and a all round entertaining blog (I also
    love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read it all
    at the moment but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS feeds,
    so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep
    up the excellent work.

  17. Nice blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What web host are you using?
    Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my
    site loaded up as fast as yours lol

  18. Hello, There’s no doubt that your site may be having web
    browser compatibility problems. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in I.E., it’s
    got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted
    to provide you with a quick heads up! Aside from that, excellent website!

  19. An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who was doing a little research on this.

    And he actually ordered me lunch simply because I discovered it
    for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!

    But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this matter here on your internet site.
