"Pequot Library Summer Book Sale" - Postcard

(Click on image to enlarge)

I made an advertisement postcard for this year's annual Pequot Library Summer Book Sale.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.20.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

Pequot Library - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

These are some photographs that I took at the Pequot Library in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I have been going to this library since I was a child. It is a beautiful building, inside and out.

This weekend they are having their 19th Annual Art Show: October 13 - 18, 2016. I encourage everyone to stop by and see the art and photographs on display.

Library Book Stacks - Photographs

This is 1 of 4 posts of photographs I took of the inside of the Pequot Library in the Southport section of Fairfield, CT this past week.

This is a beautiful and historic library that is at risk of being closed! These are photographs of the book stacks on the second floor of the library.

I have a blog post about trying to save the library here.

Save Pequot Library! - petition appeal

I am trying to get the word out, to ask readers like you, to sign the

Save Pequot Library! petition.

Libraries in the United States provide free access to books and many other resources to everyone. The Pequot Library relies on 1/3 of its operating costs to come from the Town of Fairfield, CT, but this year the Town Finance Committee voted to cut their funding, effective July 1, 2013.

I am hoping you, regardless of where you live in the world, will tell all of your friends about this, and sign the petition, to make your voice heard about the value a library has to everyone.

No donation is required to sign the petition. If you do sign it, the website will send you a "thank you" email to acknowledge your signature. You can ignore and close the window that opens that asks for a donation, because it is for the petition website itself, not the library.

I created a replica vintage style tourist postcard for this appeal, using a photograph I took of the Pequot Library in the Southport section of Fairfield, CT in August 2012, a few weeks after their annual book sale.

The font is Janda Elegant Handwriting.

Pequot Library - Pictures

I took these pictures of the Pequot Library in Fairfield CT on August 10, 2012. The lawn is brown due to tents that covered the lawn during the annual book sale they had two weeks ago.

This is also my 750th blog post!

Pequot Library Stained Glass Windows - Pictures

I took these pictures of some of the stained glass windows at the Pequot Library in Fairfield CT on August 10, 2012. When I first saw the woman statue in the window, I thought it was a person inside the library, which was closed, and it startled me.

I took these pictures at the annual Pequot Library Book sale in Fairfield CT on July 29, 2012. I hope to return there after the sale to take pictures of the library itself, which has a stunning architectural design.
