Library
Committees
Art
Committee
The local residents serving on the Art Committee hold an art
jury once every year, usually in early autumn, and choose
nine or ten art shows for the following year. The shows are
held in the Founders Room of the Library and usually last
for about a month. Information on submitting artistic work
for the jury can be found on the Library's Web site and in
the local newspaper, The Ark, as it gets closer to
the event. Click

in the Founders Room.
The
Bookmarks
The Bookmarks are a committee within the Peninsula Library
Foundation that raises funds for children's and young adult
services and programs. They hold an event every autumn and
their Teddy Bear Teas in early December. Their efforts have
helped to make the Children's Room a wonderful place and an
important part of the community.
Endowment
Committee
The Endowment Committee is comprised of local residents whose
charge is to build the Library's endowment into the future.

Film
Committee
The Film Committee members host a film series of new and innovative
films, primarily feature films but documentaries and shorts
are sometimes included. They plan to include filmmakers and

and to create interesting evenings for film aficionados as
well as provide an ideal audience for filmmakers.

Program
Committee

of museum, art, author, cultural, and educational programs
that are free and open to the public. The events are organized
by the Program Committee, a group of local volunteers, and

Committee organizes and hosts more than 60+ author, museum,
educational, and cultural programs a year. Programs are usually
given on a volunteer basis by the authors, artists, and lecturers,
etc. involved. The Program Committee welcomes input from the
community on possible future programs.
