No one is too old or too young for Way Library’s summer reading program. Once again, Directions Credit Union will provide support for adult programming which will ensure fun and informative activities during the summer months.
This June the golden anniversary of the American Studio Glass Movement will be celebrated in its birthplace—Toledo, Ohio. Way Library will join in the celebration by hosting renowned glass artist/educator Jane Bruce as the opening act in our adult summer reading program.
On Monday, June 11, at 7 p.m., Ms. Bruce will share her insights and historical knowledge of studio glass in a captivating visual presentation. Ms. Bruce’s glass art is in two dozen prominent museums around the world. A favorite among private collectors, Ms. Bruce was born in England and received her master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in London.
