  • Unearth a Story: Summer Reading Program at Vose Library

    🦕 Summer Reading is Almost Here!

    Unearth a Story, Vose Library's Summer Reading program, is back for 2026, and this year it's for the whole family. From picture book explorers to novel marathoners, everyone is invited to dig in.

    Set your own reading goal, check in with us each week, and earn raffle tickets for a chance to win some seriously fun prizes, including bikes, a pizza party at the library, and more. Complete your goal, and you'll walk away with a prize too!

    Every week brings new crafts and activities to try at the library or at home, plus weekly brag tags to collect along the way.

    Registration opens June 28. Program runs through August 15. Stop in during library hours to sign up; it's free, it's fun, and the whole family can join together.

  • Graphic that says "Save the Date" Vose Library Annual Meeting

    Annual Meeting 2026

    Did you know Vose Library is a nonprofit corporation formed in 1931 to provide public library services to the local community? We're not run by the town. We're governed by a group of local community members called the Vose Library Corporation.

    Members vote on the budget, elect the Board of Trustees, and have a direct say in the library's future. At the Annual Meeting, you'll hear updates from the librarian and treasurer, and members will vote on the year ahead.

    If you've ever wondered how decisions get made around here, or if you'd like to be part of them, you're invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Ashley Zipp

Ashley Zipp(b. 1991, MA, USA) studied at Massachusetts College of Art and Design on a full scholarship, earning a BFA in Painting with Honors in 2014.

Zipp paints in mid-coastal Maine, where she lives with her partner, two daughters and two dogs.

Observing the world through painting, Zipp contemplates how all our senses influence what we see.

She is guided by the vital and long tradition of painting, by the raw materials of paint itself, and by a love of Light.
