During the month of February 2008, look for a diorama on display by Barrington native and college student Sam Andrews.  The diorama was inspired by the WWII classic film The Bridge on the River Kwai. Sam, who worked as a “page” at the Library during his highschool years, is happy to give something back to his former workplace by sharing this creative and visually exciting exhibit with Library patrons and staff.

The annual giant Friends of the Barrington Library booksale was a great success this past weekend.  The sale brought in more than $7,000! The proceeds will be used to purchase museum passes, library programs, recorded books, teen materials, and many other items that the Friends purchase for the library each year.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the members of the Friends and many library staff who put real effort into making this sale a success!
