The Library is currently partnering
with The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art on a project dubbed “Bookmarks Mark
Ridgefield.” Community members of all ages are invited to be part of Aldrich
artist Ruth Root’s ongoing project exploring her love of books.
CREATE. Drop into The
Aldrich’s Education Center or check at the Ridgefield Library for times to make
and donate your own bookmark to the Library’s stacks. All the materials you need are supplied, including
fabric and paper selections from the artist’s studio.
DISTRIBUTE. Tuck your completed
bookmark (or one supplied by the Library) into any book on the Library’s
shelves. Choose a favorite title, or
search out something new and interesting.
DISCOVER. Find a bookmark in an item
you take off the shelf. Keep it to use yourself, or put it in another book for
the enjoyment of a fellow reader.
SHARE. Into social media? Take a
picture of a bookmark you have made or found and post it to Facebook, Twitter or
Instagram with the hashtag #rlbookmarks.
For fun, make it a selfie or a shelfie!
VISIT. Ruth Root’s work will be on
exhibit at The Aldrich through April 3rd. Stop by and learn more about this
very creative and inspiring woman.
