Planning for the space began in January of 2015, when it was decided to create a self-sustaining garden and habitat. The garden will not only attract and provide nutrition for butterflies, birds, bees, and other pollinators but also establish a safe place for them to reproduce and lay their eggs.</p> <p>The second stage involved removing old shrubs, amending the soil, rototilling the beds, planting trees and shrubs such as holly, yellow dogwood and bayberry and lots of watering. On May 20, the volunteers returned to plant columbine, serviceberry, spicebush and sweetpepper bush and spread mulch. Harry Young, one of the 14 Master Gardeners involved in the project, explained how all the shrubs and plants were carefully selected, are native to the eastern U.S. or the South Jersey area, and will grow back each year bigger and better.</p> <!--break--> <p><a href="/rmg_pics"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/article_images/4.jpg" style="width: 30%; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; float: right;" /></a>The <a href="http://rutgers-atlantic.org/garden/" target="_blank">Rutgers Master Gardeners of Atlantic County</a> program educates and trains individuals interested in horticulture.

The first of these is the renovation of its entryway in order to improve access and make it ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant. The finished project will include upgraded doors, repaired sidewalks and walkways as well as new ramps, hardware and railings. Funding for this project was made possible by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant which was specifically allocated for Atlantic County.</p> <p>The second, is the creation of a mural, approximately 17 feet tall and 90 feet long on three exterior walls of the Somers Point Branch building. The mural will commemorate the life of local naval hero Master Commandant Richard Somers. Recognized for his bravery in the First Barbary War, Somers was also the great-great grandson of John Somers, for whom Somers Point was named.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/CivilWar/sss_mural1.jpg" style="width: 30%; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; float: left;" />Millville muralist, Maryann Cannon was chosen for the major task of creating, laying out and painting the imagery which will include Somers’ home, travels, war adventures, contemporaries and the cemetery in Tripoli, Libya where he is buried. Working 10 feet off the ground, Maryann Cannon began the work in May and her progress can be followed throughout the summer. It is expected to be unveiled on “Richard Somers Day” September 20, 2015. </p> <p>The mural has been made possible by the efforts of the Somers Point City Council, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Somers Point Arts Commission and the Somers Point Historical Society. Funding for this project has been provided in part by a grant administered by the <a href="http://www.aclink.org/culturalaffairs/" target="_blank">Atlantic County Office of Cultural &amp; Heritage Affairs</a> from monies granted by the <a href="http://nj.gov/state/njsca/index.html" target="_blank">New Jersey State Council on the Arts</a>.</p> <!--break--> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-add-this field-type-addthis field-label-hidden view-mode-rss"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style " addthis:title="Somers Point Branch as Canvas - Atlantic County Library System" addthis:url="http://www.atlanticlibrary.org/node/7011"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_facebook"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_twitter"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="standard"></a> </div> </div></div></div> Wed, 10 Jun 2015 15:59:28 +0000 Stephanie 7011 at http://www.atlanticlibrary.org http://www.atlanticlibrary.org/node/7011#comments One County, One Book http://www.atlanticlibrary.org/node/7002 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-rss"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>This Memorial Day weekend, the Atlantic County Library System is excited to announce the kick-off of <strong>One County, One Book.</strong> The goal of this event is to recommend one book that will get the whole community, regardless of age, reading and talking.</p> <p>We, at the Atlantic County Library System, believe <a href="http://acls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=r.j.palacio&amp;te=ILS&amp;rt=false%7C%7C%7CAUTHOR%7C%7C%7CAuthor" target="_blank"><em>Wonder </em>by R.J.
