A Summer Concert with the Riverboat Stompers Jazz Band (for All Ages)

The Riverboat Stompers Jazz Band is a vibrant seven-piece ensemble celebrated for its rich harmonies and engaging stage presence. The band specializes in traditional Dixieland jazz, showcasing a lively blend of cornet, clarinet, trombone, piano, banjo, tuba, and drums. Their set combines spirited instrumentals with improvisational jazz, influenced by greats like Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton, along with humorous vocals and playful commentary. This concert promises a fun, toe-tapping experience for all ages, bringing together families and seniors for a joyful, multi-generational community event. Please bring a blanket or low chairs to sit on; feel free to bring along a picnic dinner as well! This concert is presented by the Carlisle Cultural Council, the Carlisle Council on Aging and Human Services, the Carlisle Recreation Department and the Friends of the Gleason Public Library. Please note that parking at the Library is limited. If the Library parking lot is full, additional parking is available at the Carlisle Public School (83 School St.), the Post Office (70 Bedford Rd.), Center Park (Lowell St.), and Town Hall (66 Westford St.), as well as street parking on Church Street and School Street. The event is made possible by a grant from the Carlisle Cultural Council. The Carlisle Cultural Council is at the center of Carlisle’s vibrant community of artists, musicians, artisans, writers, historians, poets, educators and more. Our vision is to be the catalyst of cultural enrichment in Carlisle. Appointed by the Select Board, we serve the community by supporting and producing both participatory and audience-based cultural and arts activities. The CCC supports local cultural initiatives through an annual grant award process established and funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, that helps deserving organizations and individuals offer a variety of cultural experiences to the people of Carlisle. https://gleasonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/a-summer-concert-with-the-riverboat-stompers-jazz-band-for-all-ages/

Ernő Rubik and His Magic Cube StoryWalk®

Our annual summer StoryWalk® combines our love of reading, learning, and the great outdoors! Our StoryWalk® is on display from August 11th through August 26th along our back pathway up to the school. We will feature the biographical picture book Ernő Rubik and His Magic Cube, written by Kerry Aradhya and illustrated by Kara Kramer. "In the hills of Budapest, near the banks of the Danube River, lived a quiet boy named Ernő Rubik. He loved books, art, nature, and—most of all—puzzles. And he grew up to create the most popular puzzle in history. This picture book biography explores the experience and interests that inspired the inventor of the Rubik’s Cube." The pages from this award-winning children’s picture book are displayed on 14 stations along the back pathway between the Library and Church Street. Visitors of all ages will enjoy the beauty of the wooded pathway while reading and spending time together. When you have completed the StoryWalk®, please walk back down to the Library and stop by our Circulation desk to pick up a prize—your own mini Rubik's Cube. Try your hand with this fun toy. Can you solve the puzzle? If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. The StoryWalk® and prizes are sponsored by our wonderful Friends of the Gleason Public Library. The Friends is a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation made up of volunteers interested in supporting and enhancing the programs, services, and materials available to our community through the Gleason Public Library. Because of your generous donations, this past year we were able to sponsor over 120 programs at the Gleason Public Library which reached over 2,500 people in town, in addition to museum passes used by over 800 patrons. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson. https://gleasonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/ern-rubik-and-his-magic-cube-storywalk/
