A
program about genealogy and how to find
the branches in your family tree will be
presented tomorrow night, Feb. 16, at
the Wake Forest Public Library. The
program is free and is made possible by
the Friends of Wake Forest Public
Library.
March is Youth Art Month,
and the four libraries in the eastern
part of Wake County, including the Wake
Forest Library, are accepting
applications and submissions from
teen-aged artists and performers for an
art exhibit that will open April 7.
The artists between 12 and
17 years of age can submit original
artwork – painting, drawing, photograph,
jewelry, wood carving, design,
sculpture, digital art or another art
form – to any of the four libraries
between now and March 24. There is a
limit of two entries per person.
The performers will be in
the same age range and can present a
five-minute act of dancing, singing,
comedy, magic tricks, reading, juggling
or other performance art. The teens will
present their performances the evening
of Friday, April 7, at the East Regional
Library in Knightdale at the opening
reception.
The art work will remain on
display at the Knightdale library
through Saturday, April 15, and will
then be returned to the artists. There
is more information about this, titled
the East Regional Teen Art Explosion, at
the Wake Forest, Wendell, Knightdale and
Zebulon libraries as well as application
and submission forms. Lindsey Dunn is
the person to see at the Wake Forest
Library.
The Wake Forest Library is
again offering Twilight Tales, a monthly
story time for all ages. On Thursday,
