		Contact: Mary Rindfleisch 203-438-2282 x1009 mfrind@ridgefieldlibrary.org
		On Thursday, February 18, 2010, libraries all over Connecticut – including the Ridgefield Library - will be taking a ‘snapshot’ – collecting information to capture the impact that Connecticut libraries have on their communities on a typical day. We’re calling it ‘Snapshot Day.’ Snapshot Day is a joint project of the Connecticut Library Association, the Connecticut State Library and the Connecticut Library Consortium. The aim is to encourage libraries all over Connecticut to collect basic data – how many people use the library on a given day, how many people use computers, attend programs, etc. Connecticut’s libraries are busier than ever these days, with people coming not only to check out books, but use computers, look for a job or attend the many programs our libraries offer. All across the state, libraries are the cornerstones of their communities, places were people come together to visit, learn and share ideas. On February 18, we hope to capture a slice of life of Connecticut’s libraries. There will be a chance for patrons to comment on what their library means to them, and pictures from libraries all over the state will be available on the Snapshot Flickr page. Here in Ridgefield, the Library will be open on the 18th from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Stop by and become a part of Snapshot Day 2010! Snapshot Day website

		"To me, an interior is not complete without works of art. They bring back memories, help you focus or remind you of what you aspire to. Art works bring color and texture--they set the tone." --Olga Adler. Designing interiors around works of art takes a special eye. Works of art can be focal pieces in rooms and bring with them their own palette and form. The colors and shapes which present themselves in works of art can also inform other interiors elements including furnishings, room color or lighting. Ms. Adler will talk about the unique ways works of art can work closely with overall interiors. This program is part of the ARTalk series co-sponsored by the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.

		Exhibit: The Many Faces of Italy - Photographs by Jane La Motta
		Contact: Lesley Lambton 203-438-2282 lalambton@ridgefieldlibrary.org
		Jane La Motta of Ridgefield has been a professional photographer for more than a decade. Originally specializing in hand printed children, corporate, family and maternity portraits, her friendly personality and unique view through the lens gradually led her to wedding and bar and bat mitzvah celebrations. After years of film training and experience, Jane La Motta now shoots exclusively in digital allowing for superior editing, documentary style images, and artistic interpretations. Jane received her Bachelor of Arts from Rutger’s University and her Masters of Business Administration from New York University. She went on to study photography at the International Center of Photography in NYC, the Silvermine School of Art and the Photographer’s Workplace in CT, and the Maine and Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. In her show, The Many Faces of Italy, Jane La Motta’s photographs don’t simply show you Italy, they make you feel it. There is an intimacy in the portraits that stirs a desire to want to know the people, the faces, and the places. Artist's Reception Saturday, March 6, 2 - 4 PM.

		Contact: Lesley Lambton 438 2282 lalambton@ridgefieldlibrary.org
		Jane La Motta of Ridgefield has been a professional photographer for more than a decade. Originally specializing in hand printed children, corporate, family and maternity portraits, her friendly personality and unique view through the lens gradually led her to wedding and bar and bat mitzvah celebrations. After years of film training and experience, Jane La Motta now shoots exclusively in digital allowing for superior editing, documentary style images, and artistic interpretations. Jane received her Bachelor of Arts from Rutger’s University and her Masters of Business Administration from New York University. She went on to study photography at the International Center of Photography in NYC, the Silvermine School of Art and the Photographer’s Workplace in CT, and the Maine and Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. In her show, The Many Faces of Italy, Jane La Motta’s photographs don’t simply show you Italy, they make you feel it. There is an intimacy in the portraits that stirs a desire to want to know the people, the faces, and the places. Exhibit Reception, Saturday, March 6, 2 - 4 PM. Refreshments will be served.

	2:00 PM - 3:00 PM	Author Talk - Alice in Wonderland by Jamison Odone
		Contact: Lesley Lambton 203-438-2282 lalambton@ridgefieldlibrary.org
		Walt Disney Pictures will release the latest masterpiece by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp on March 5, 2010 and Alice in Wonderland will be reborn twice that day as another dark genius releases a retelling that is simply wonderful. STICKFIGURATIVELY SPEAKING is a new series from PublishingWorks, Inc. written and illustrated by Jamison Odone. We are thrilled to have an event with Jamison at your library that very weekend on March 7th at 2pm, for the first in the series, ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. Literary nonsense turns to whimsical, macabre in the pen and ink drawings of Odone. Starkly black and white while providing no definitive view point, these stick characters are as much a quandary as their literary, cartoon and theatre counterparts ever were. While this deconstructed version omits much of the melodic verbiage of the original Lewis Carroll classic, the end result is a simple variation with an exquisite twist that’s already being compared to Edward Gorey. Best known for his children's book illustrations including HONEY BADGERS and THE BEDTIME TRAIN, Jamison is taking a distinct turn away from those lush paintings to draw raw stick characters with odd and quirky idioms floating in the air. The birth of these minimalist drawings came soon after the death of Michael Jackson when Odone used his art as a means of therapy by creating a stick-figure tribute to “the gloved one” performing “Thriller” (as seen on www.publishingworks.com).
