Newton County Library

John Alexander, of Walnut Fork Wood Shop in Ozone, AR, will be at our library to give an informative program about Timber Framing.  Timber Framing is also known as "post and beam construction".  This method allows a sturdy structures to be built without the aid of modern high-tech saws. Alexander's built many timber framed structures in Arkansas, but presently runs his woodshop, primarily making stairs, high-end cabinets, doors and "anything of wood", including furniture and "woodie" cars.

The 2012 FOL Summer Book Sale will be held on Friday, May 11th from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm and Saturday, May 12th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Donations are now being accepted for this important fund raising event.  From Mystery to Non-Fiction, Western to Sci-Fi, you'll have quite a selection at the Newton County Library.

Mark Wilcken, Producer of Troubled Water, will be a guest speaker at the showing of this 2008 film that allowed farmers, geologists, experts and concerned citizens an avenue to share their opinions about how water is managed in Arkansas, and what needs to be done to protect this irreplaceable resource.  Wilckens, who moved to this area from the Pacific Northwest in 2001, also produced the documentary Play On, and has recently been working on another film about Arkansas history.
