Get ready for some BIG fun at the Somerset Public Library on February 23rd as we celebrate the newest addition to the Children’s Room—an elephant! The Junior Class of Somerset-Berkley Regional High School donated this 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall pachyderm, but he needed a name. 267 children entered our “Name This Elephant” contest and we will reveal the winning entry at our Pachyderm Party. The festivities start at 1:00 p.m. with games and crafts. At 2:00 we’ll show the movie, Aladdin, which inspired the students to create this awesome elephant out of wood, paper, duck tape and fingernail polish. At 3:30 we’ll wrap up the afternoon with goodies and a presentation to the winner of the contest. The Somerset Public Library is located at 1464 County Street. If you have any questions, please contact Sue Hughey, Children’s Librarian, at 508-646-2829, shughey@sailsinc.org or log on to the library’s website at www.somersetpubliclibrary.org.

The next concert in the Somerset Public Library Concert Series will be Aoife Clancy (pronounced “Eefa”) who brings a refreshing new voice to folk music, one that ranges from traditional Irish songs to ballads and contemporary folk. Aoife comes from the small town of Carrick-on-Suir, in Co Tipperary, Ireland, where her musical career began at an early age. Her father Bobby Clancy of the legendary Clancy Brothers, placed a guitar in her hands at age ten, and by age fourteen was playing with her father in nearby pubs. Now with seven recordings under her belt in the last decade, Aoife has clearly established herself as one of the Divas of Irish and contemporary Folk Music. She has recorded two solo projects “Its about Time” and “Soldiers and Dreams” on Rego Records. On her debut CD “It’s About Time,” Aoife presents some traditional favorites, such as “Factory Girl” and “Mrs. McGrath,” but she also presents a sassy rendition of Leon Russelson’s “Don’t Get Married Girls Scott Alarik from the Boston Globe says that ”whether she’s delivering an ancient Irish ballad, an American folk classic, or an urgent contemporary song, Aoife sings with the same gorgeous naturalism as if she were experiencing the emotions in the songs for the first time.” Seating is limited and Tickets are only $10.00 each and money raised from the concert will benefit future programing at the Somerset Public Library. Tickets are available at the library or by calling the library at 508-646-2829. For more information visit our website at www.somersetpubliclibrary.org or our FaceBook Concert Page “SPL Concerts”.
