Libby is a wonderful app that lets you easily navigate Overdrive and check out ebooks and eaudiobooks using your library card. With a few “taps,” you can sign in using your library card number and access the thousands of ebooks/eaudiobooks that are available from New Hampshire’s State Library catalog. So, how do you get started?
​ 
The first step depends on the device you use. Libby is completely free. If you use an iphone, you can download the Libby app from the app store. If you use an Android, use the Google Play Store. If you want to access Libby from your Windows PC, you use the Microsoft Store. Once you download it, get your library card at the ready and follow the instructions on the device. “Libby” will pop up and chat with you about how to get started.

Art and libraries are a natural pairing as both are directed toward the development of the mind. Proof of this is now on display as eleven Lakes Region Art Association members artists have their fine art paintings and photographs on display at the Meredith Public Library for the month of June. Fourteen different works of art in oils, acrylics, watercolors and photography demonstrate, as much as any writing does, that each piece is a ‘short story’ that’s been imagined and ‘authored’ using a paint brush or a camera. The Meredith Library is open daily Tuesday thru Saturday.

My name is Acacia Rogers, a long time New Hampshire resident, and I possibly may never leave. I love this State! In fact, the beautiful scenery, the lakes, the mountains, the trees, and the wildlife here have all been an incredible inspiration for my work throughout the years. I have been an avid painter for about the last decade, but have been drawing and creating all types of art my entire life. It was almost an impulse from the moment i could grasp a pencil.

 Being an indiscriminate animal lover, I started feeling out a potential artist career some years back by painting pet portraits for coworkers, friends, and family. The positive response and my growing passion kept me going. I have now expanded my artistic vocabulary to include still life, landscape, wildlife, and portraiture as well. My mediums of choice are Acrylic, Watercolor, and Oils. Though Oils have become a serious favorite. 

Since my late teens, the idea of being a self sustaining artist full time has never left my mind. In truth, I love painting so much that time spent focusing most of my energy on anything else makes me feel empty, sad, and like I'm not spending my time properly. I cant stay away. Now I am painting full time with full determination to make this passion work as a career, one way or another.
