This past Thursday evening a standing-room-only crowd gathered in the meeting room of the Choctaw County Library to appreciate the artwork of a number of artists from Choctaw County and the surrounding area. The art show was hosted by the Choctaw County Friends of the Library with the goal of introducing the visitors to the organization, and hopefully attract new members.
A brief meeting was held before the art show, highlighting various projects that the organization has helped with including the Summer Reading Program; 144 people participated in the program, reading more than 700 books and completing more than 700 literacy activities. The Friends of the Library collected $1.3K in donations toward the program.
Membership fees for the Friends of the Library are: $5/individual, $10/family, $50/business, and $2/student.
Featured artists were: Sister Alies Therese, Janice Black, Sandy Black, M.P. Busby, Daniel Chandler, Susan Moore Clark, Alex Coblentz, Melissa Collins, Bobby Gene Cooper, Ann Ellington, Jill Furr, Deanie Graves, Lee Ann Helms, Sarah Johns Holloway, Ann McCool, Ethelyn Prewitt, Mary Reed, and Dot Thomas.
