It can be anything from a photo of your family, your home, or garden to your favorite local restaurant, walking trail or quiet spot. We would like everyone who can to become involved in this project- adults, children, veterans, town officials, the whole community. Please take a digital with at least a minimum of 300 dpi and e- mail it with your title, e-mail address, name and phone number to [email protected] . A release form will be available online and at the library for you to fill out. Please note that Children and Teens need a parents’ signature on the release form. We will be collating and presenting these photos through several future programs. The deadline for the photos is Sept. 30. Call 755-2944 ext. 2 for more info.
