"EWML at Night"
On behalf of Bob and Antoinette Cargill, Cargill Photo of Monroe recently donated the photographic print "EWML at Night" to the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library. This print shows the front entrance of the library at sunset with the interior lighting of the library in striking contrast to the darkening sky. Bob and Antoinette "feel this image shows the inner glow of knowledge that permeates this beautiful building and will provide a place for learning and sharing knowledge for generations to come". Framing for the photo is the gift of Eric Peterson and Kosal Eang of Creative Framing, 150 Main St. Monroe.
The Cargills have two sons and six grandchildren. Mr. Cargill is active in the community and serves, or has served on, the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, Monroe Business Directory Committee, Monroe Rotary Club, Monroe Health Dept., St. Peter's Vestry, Boy Scout Troop 62 committeeman and Photo Merit Badge councilor. Cargill Photo provides services in aerial, advertising, commercial and industrial photography with specialties in glass, bright metal, close-up photography and plane-to-plane photography.
As Library Director I am very pleased to accept this handsome gift. The area I have chosen to hang it also includes the oil painting of the first library, built of brick and dedicated in 1958, it stood adjacent to the old Monroe Town Hall. With these two images close together, our patrons can see the history of library service in Monroe and be proud of the commitment of this community to learning, knowledge, and freedom of information. Bob and Antionette are good friends to the library and Monroe as evidenced by this gift.

Library Elf -what is this?
Library Elf is a free service that allows library users to:
Receive email notices of items BEFORE they are due
Be notified of reserves as they become available
View the due dates of various items in a calendar format
Many of our EWML patrons use library elf and they love it! So does the library staff, because users of library elf are less likely to have overdue books. The email reminders are sent out before your books & movies are overdue. You can then go online and renew them yourself, or give the library a call and we will do that for you. Library Elf saves the staff from having to make phone calls about reserves and overdues. We love it.
Please give it a try. Their website, if you want to sign up, is: www.libraryelf.com

Local Links page is up!
Looking for information on Monroe sports, education, business, or clubs? Need help with social services, or health? Want to find out about the arts in Monroe? Just go to the EWML Local Links Page at: http://www.ewml.org/ (look for Local Links on the left)
Reference Librarian Karen Recine spent months gathering and double checking this information, and Reference Librarian Joan Clark crafted the webpage. Congratulations to them both for a job well done!
Live Stream Broadcast of the Inauguration
The Friends of EWML gave the library a laptop computer (our first) and we used it to live stream the Inauguration of Barack Obama in the Ehlers Community Room on Jan. 20. Over 40 residents watched our 44th President get sworn in, and for me, it was made more memorable and poignant by being among friends and co-workers.

Portrait of Edith Wheeler
Bill Lee and Marie Lederer stand next to the portrait of Edith Wheeler presented to the library on December 9, 2008. Bill painted the portrait from a photo of Ms. Wheeler provided by Marie Lederer. Bill Lee, a resident of Trumbull and a graduate of the Yale School of Art, is a frequent patron of our library and was very excited to take on this new project. The Library Board of Trustees and the library staff are very excited and happy to have this new addition to the library. To learn more about Edith Wheeler visit the About Us section of the library webpage at www.ewml.org/libraryhistory.htm
