terest for over 25 years has
been the Odds and Ends tent.
“lI get to see people that I
might not see throughout the
year. A lot of friends stop by
the tent to visit and that’s real-
ly nice,” she said. “We try so
hard every year to get new
people to volunteer. It’s a great
cause.”
Volunteers for the tent are
needed on July 5 and 6 to help
move the accumulated treas-
ures from the basement of the
library out to the tent. “Even if
people could give an hour or
two of their time, it would
help. They don’t have to carry
the heavy stuff, just unloading
the boxes under the tent is a
big help.”
The funds raised through
the auction help with yearly li-
brary expenses. This year’s
auction is especially important
because the library lost nearly
$47,000 in state funding.
“What is a community with-
out a library,” asked Kutz.
“This auction really brings the
community together. So many
people who have left the area
like to plan their visit home to
coincide with the auction. It is
a really wonderful thing we
have here and I hope it will
continue for many, many
years.”
Volunteers are stil needed
for set up and clean up. “Peo-
ple like to be asked,” said Bar-.
bara Lemmond. So, consider
yourself asked and call the li-
brary at 675-1182 to volunteer.
If you can’t get to a phone, just
show up at the library, and
there is sure to be some way
you can help out.

Art show to make debut
By KELLY CLISHAM
For The Post
The folks at the Back Moun-
tain Memorial Library have el-
evated fund-raising to an art
form — literally. While the li-
brary’s auction has been a sign
of summer in the community
for more than 50. years, this
year’s event is featuring a new
attraction in the form of an art
show coordinated by local
artist Martha Sampson.
Sampson, a painter and
teacher, was born and raised in
Clarks Summit. She spent 26
years in Dallas before moving
to Florida, then returning to
Northeastern Pennsylvania to
tend to family obligations. She
now lives about halfway be-
tween Dallas and Tunkhan-
nock, and though she’s official-
ly retired, she says, laughingly,
“I'm not. I'm not very retired.”
A former public school
teacher, Sampson now divides
her time between organizing
exhibits for the Endless Moun-
tain Council of the Arts where
she also gives lessons, teach-
ing private art classes in her
home, and pursuing her own
artistic endeavors.
Though Sampson’s plate, or
in this case palette, is quite
full, when she was approached
about the idea of an art show
at this year’s auction, she
agreed to take charge. The
show will feature the work of
15 local artists, both profes-
sional and amateur, as well as
one of Sampson’s own pieces.
All of the artwork will be for
Monday & Friday*

sale, with the library and the
artist each receiving a portion
of the proceeds.
Sampson is also coordinat-
ing an art show for the EMCA
Gallery that will take place at
the end of August.
This busy artist and teacher
also shares a passion with
many of the auction’s' guests
— a passion for reading. “I
read all the time. I find books
everywhere.” Of course Samp-
son delves into art books to
keep herself inspired and keep
her teaching skills current, but
she also enjoys historical nov-
els. She counts Rosamunde
Pilcher and Maeve Binchy
among her favorite authors.
Sampson also holds a spe-
cial place in her heart for
“Walking on Water: Reflec-
tions on Faith and Art” by
Madeline L'Engle. She says the
book is a must for “writers,
artists and other creative peo-
ple,” and has given it as a gift
many times.
Right now, Sampson is put-
ting her gifts of organizational
and artistic talent into making
sure the Back Mountain
Memorial Library Auction’s
premier art show runs smooth-
ly. While it’s still too early to
say whether the art show will
become a part of the long-
standing auction’s tradition,
Sampson does have high
hopes for this year’s event.
“I'd love to see the show
bring in lots of revenue for the
library and the artists. I'd like a
lot of people to see a lot of fine
arts.”
