After the positive reception of Click!: Historic McPherson Photographs and Their Stories, McPherson Public Library Director, Steve Read realized that a subsequent documentary video was necessary.
And just in time for National Library Week, the library is pleased to announce the release of Click! 2: More Historic McPherson Photographs and Their Stories. Both of these videos offer a unique look at photographs from the library’s extensive collection, while Read, Jennie Hall and Melissa Smith offer their insights, stories and information about each.
I Noticed, Visual Stories by Susan Bartel on display at McPherson Library
Special to The Kansan
North Newton artist Susan Bartel’s current collection, I Noticed, Visual Stories by Susan Bartel, is now on display at the McPherson Public Library through April 27th.
“Painting in watercolor is my passion,” Bartel said, “I covet the unexpected miracles that happen in watercolor - it’s a dance between control and letting the colors mix and sing for themselves. I use a limited palette, often preferring to work with only three primary colors, watching the colors mix on the painting, rather than the palette. When my work is going well I am filled with a sense of wonder at the beauty of color and the world we inhabit. My hope is that some of this wonder is also conveyed to you, the viewer.”

Library patrons can once again view the detailed artistry of the McPherson Quilt Guild at the McPherson Public Library during January and February.
The guild is offering two shows. For the first show, which opened on Jan. 6, the guild highlights quilts that they have given as gifts to family, friends and various organizations over the years. Quilters Like to Give: Seasons of Giving Through the Years focuses on generosity, and will be on display throughout the month of January.
In February Quilters Like to Learn: My Heart Belongs to Quilting will bring out a little love as the quilters share a few of the items they created which were inspired by their guest speakers over the past year.
