Hi everyone, unfortunately the Historical Pictorial Coloring Book Program with artist & illustrator Fritz Wasser, which was scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, February 26, 2026, is cancelled. Mr. Wasser is unexpectedly unavailable tomorrow. We hope to reschedule the program for a later date.

The Historical Pictorial Coloring Book is a really cool book; it was of course, illustrated by Mr. Wasser and the text was written by Thomas Dimitroff and Lois Janes. The oversized book features seventeen double-page illustrations with a description of the history of each historical location or building being shown.

Highlights include:

Lumber Rafting On The Chemung River

The Castle, Corning’s Arsenal

Early 20^th Century View Of The Corning Glass Works

Steuben Glass Works Sixteen-Pot Furnace

Corning Becomes A Community And Builds A City Hall

And

Centerway Square: The Heart Of The Community

I urge you to check out the book. The library has copies you can peruse and you can also purchase copies for $10 at the Heritage Village of the Southern Finger Lakes gift shop.

Additionally, if anyone would like to stop by the library and pick up some photocopies pages to color – let me know and I’ll give you a packet.

Have a great day,

Linda Reimer, SSCL
