Hank's Room Gallery

Each month, Kennebunk Free Library hosts a new exhibit of an area artist in the Hank's Room Gallery. The exhibit is open to the public during library hours except when the room is in use for a scheduled meeting or program. Please contact the Library if you are interested in displaying your art in our Gallery.

The Creation of the Gallery

The creation of the art gallery in Hank's Room was made possible when the trustees of the Kennebunk Free Library authorized the auction of unused Library furniture (wooden card catalogs and fireplace andirons) to fund renovations to Hank's Room. With the proceeds from the auction the Library purchased track lighting, molding and paint to add gallery space to this multi-purpose meeting room.

In January 2001 the Kennebunk Free Library began offering space in Hank's Room, our meeting room, to accommodate ongoing displays of art. This is a true community effort to expand the Library mission of life-long learning. This opportunity is open to local artists of Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel, as well as those who work but may not reside in the above-mentioned towns.

Artists exhibit for an entire month. Each artist has the opportunity to host a reception, which may be open to the public if desired. We have had a wide variety of artwork on display, which makes each exhibit unique and exciting.

Our patrons' responses to the exhibits have been wonderful, and each month they look forward to a new and exciting display. The art gallery has been very well received by both patrons and artists alike.

The current exhibit and a listing of upcoming artists is available.

Book Discussion Group for Adults

Join in for a lively and informal discussion of books and ideas from a varied selection of titles. Books are available to borrow at the Adult Circulation Desk. We meet on the fourth Thursday of the month at 11:15 AM. Drop ins always welcome.

Crossover

Crossover, the KFL's first intergenerational book group, is dedicated to exploring crossover fiction:  adult novels with teen appeal and teen novels with adult appeal. 

It is held on the third Monday of the month at 6:00pm.  See our Crossover page for more information.

Computer Classes

The Kennebunk Free Library is pleased to offer free computer classes to adults: basic email, basic internet searching and basic word processing. These classes will serve as a starting point to greater skills and expertise—it just takes practice!  Once you gain these skills you’ll be on the road to independent computing.

Classes will be offered on the first three Wednesdays of the month January-March 2010, April-May 2010, September-December 2010.
