The Friends of the Bill Memorial Library, 240 Monument Street in the City of Groton, will hold their annual meeting on Monday, July 16, at 6:00 p.m. at the library. The highlight is the presentation of F.G.M. from A to Z-an alphabetical overview of the Florence Griswold Museum. The program will be presented by David Rau, Director of Education and Outreach. Since his arrival at the Florence Griswold Museum, Rau has initiated a broad array of new educational programming at the Museum, designed to promote active, experiential and life-long learning opportunities for a diverse audience. The Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme offers year-round exhibitions of American art and interprets the historic Florence Griswold House, a boardinghouse for artists, circa 1910. The 11-acres of gardens and grounds along the Lieutenant River provides a place of natural beauty that inspired the original painters of the Lyme Art Colony as well as those of today.
This event is free and open to the public. A brief business meeting of the Friends will be held and refreshments will be served.
The library is located on Monument Street in the historic Groton Bank area of the City of Groton, adjacent to Fort Griswold and overlooking the Thames River.
