<title>Rockwell Kent as gifted printmaker, book artist, author</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20912/20121120/rockwell-kent-as-gifted-printmaker-book-artist-author</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 20, 2012) Part of an exhibition of Rockwell Kent&apos;s work at St. Lawrence University explores his literary side.  Kent was one of America&apos;s most famous 20th century artists, and owned a dairy farm in the eastern Adirondacks.  Two exhibits of his work are on display through December 15 in St. Lawrence&apos;s Brush Art Gallery and the Owen D. Young Library&apos;s Special Collections.  Rockwell Kent: The Once Most Popular American Artist is a display of dozens of works in a variety of media.   Kent&apos;s prominence as an artist, author, adventurer and socio-political activist made him a media phenomenon.   He died in 1971.  In this second of a two-part series of conversations, Todd Moe toured the exhibit in Special Collections in the ODY Library.  He spoke with Cathy Tedford, Brush Art Gallery Director and Special Collections Curator and Archivist Mark McMurray about the university&apos;s collection of Kent correspondence, original prints, books and other ephemera — including some recent acquisitions.

<title>From despair to repair: Wells library reopens Saturday</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19205/20120127/from-despair-to-repair-wells-library-reopens-saturday</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 27, 2012) An Adirondack community welcomes the return of its library this weekend, after months of repair work. The doors of the Wells Memorial Library in Upper Jay will reopen on Saturday as part of a day-long celebration. Five months ago, heavy flooding damaged the library after Hurricane Irene. The library&apos;s board president, Marie-Anne Azar Ward, says flood waters ruined a majority of the library&apos;s books, and nearly all the children&apos;s collection was destroyed.  Azar Ward says the community rolled-up its collective sleeves and went to work repairing the 106-year old building. The re-opening celebration, with music and food, starts at 1 o&apos;clock Saturday afternoon.

But decreases in funding are making it harder for rural libraries to juggle their many missions. Sarah Harris has our story.
