A Gazebo in the Woods: the Ida Lane Clausen Gazebo The library grounds include a few outbuildings, chief among them a gazebo across from the Ester Post Office. This structure is nestled in amongst the birches and alders growing on the tailings there, and features stained glass windows, benches, a few book and magazine shelves, a bulletin board, and space for informational brochures or fliers from local businesses and organizations. Construction started in 2007 and was finished in 2010. The gazebo is the staging area for Readers on the Run and hosts musical events, such as a drumming circle during the Li-Berry Music Festival. To schedule an event at the gazebo, please contact Nancy Burnham at 457-6668. On August 1, 2010, the gazebo was dedicated to honor Ida Lane Clausen. Photo by Monique Musick.
The gazebo functions as a quiet summertime place to rest and read, to wait for the bus or friends, to play music, for small gatherings in an outdoorsy but sheltered setting, and to find out what's going on around the village. In the winter, it serves as a place to get in out of the wind or to wait for the bus--and is a good spot for posting notices. February 14, 2009:
