The Gloucester Lyceum and Sawyer Free Library is pleased to announce the restoration and conservation of its grand murals by renowned artist Frederick L. Stoddard (1861-1940) with the assistance of Howard Curtis (1906-1989). Located in the Library’s historic Saunders House, the murals were painted in 1934 as part of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration. Along with Gloucester’s City Hall, the Sawyer Free Library was a local beneficiary of the federal government program designed to create jobs for artists and bring art to public places and communities across the country.
“Restoring these significant WPA murals depicting Gloucester’s origins is not only our responsibility but our great privilege. They are community artistic treasures and historically significant features of the Saunders House,” said Mern Sibley, the Gloucester Lyceum and Sawyer Free Library’s Board of Trustees’ President. “This project will preserve these unique works for historic study and enjoyment by residents and visitors.”

Huge endorsement out of McCarthy right here-
They are outrageous. Like previously my death row meal would have been a lobster roll but I’m rethinking all of that right now. I’m thinking it might be Alex’ lobster risotto arancini!

A hilarious new novel, written by longtime GMG FOB Doug Brendel, is now available in Gloucester exclusively at Dogtown Books, 132 Main St.
“It’s like a Mexican, a Korean, and a bigot walk into a novel,” Doug says of his outrageous new book, Praying for Mrs. Mombasa. “It’s a rollicking comedy, and an irreverent look at how hope works. Plus, it messes with our tendency to stereotype people. Funny, and a bit edgy in places. We’ll see how it goes over. I may have to sneak out of town, who knows?”
When you buy Praying for Mrs. Mombasaat Dogtown Books, you’ll also receive a free copy of Doug’s previous book, Ipswich in Stitches, comprised of amusing “greatest hits” from his popular humor blog at Outsidah.com.
Dogtown Books plans to soon host a book-signing event, where Doug will perform selections from the book and autograph purchased copies on request. Follow GMG for details to come.
(For those who can’t make a trip to Dogtown Books to purchase Praying for Mrs. Mombasa, the book is available online via Amazon.)
