Library Happenings

There's a brand new addition to the York Public Library's Children's Room: the library's very own playhouse. Modeled after the popular durable wooden play area built for York Hospital's Emergency Department, the library's new play space has a character all its own: red, festive and reminiscent of York's maritime heritage. The project was made possible by several local businesses who worked with volunteers from the library's Children's Programming Committee to take the playhouse from concept to construction. Pictured, from left, children of some of those volunteers Ian Morosoff, Kayla Edminster, Lily Whelan, Collin Edminster and Caitie Edminster and (front row, from left) Emily Barnes and Isaac Morosoff, give the playhouse a try. The structure was installed at the library last week after months of work by such local businesses as Atlantic Construction, Thane Pearson and AccuPro Painters. The committee volunteers initiated the idea of a playhouse, but as Chairwoman Julie Edminster pointed out, it was the business community made it happen. Visit the library's Children's Room to see the playhouse firsthand, or visit www.york.lib.me.us to find out more about what's happening at the library.
