Interview Library

Idea:

A collection of gently used clothing (limited items) and shoes that are interview appropriate. To be lent to those who are trying to obtain employment but have a limited wardrobe. Items can be lent out in reusable bags which will include information on using the LRTA, common interview questions and answers, how to follow up [Read more…]

Benefit:

This will assist people with gaining independence through employment. As the option for working virtually is becoming harder to find more people are discovering that they do not have the needed clothing to go on in person interviews.

Summerween Market

Idea:

Celebrate Halloween in the heat! Jumping on the “Summerween” trend, this one-day public market combines all things spooky and summery. Ideally, this event would take place outdoors on a late summer day. Highlights might include beachy-creepy tunes, select vendors, a lemonade stand serving up signature mocktails, and interactive opportunities: a costume contest, face painting, potionmaking, [Read more…]

Benefit:

This event would offer Lowell families a day of no-to-low-cost fun, bolster local businesses, and provide a bit of joy at a time when it's much needed. There is also potential to further engage the community through live music, a communal art project, or similar volunteer opportunities that lean on [Read more…]

Fix-It Fair or Repair Cafe

Idea:

Some libraries operate “fix-it fairs” where community members share their expertise in various areas by fixing things that need repairs. Small engine repair, sewing and other textile repair, computer support, small appliance repair, etc. I believe this sort of thing has been done in Lowell before, but this could be done on a recurring basis [Read more…]

Benefit:

Repairing existing goods is beneficial in many ways. It saves community members money by making their broken items last longer, especially for items that are costly to repair or replace. It provides a place for those with helpful skills to be able to share those skills with others, which strengthens [Read more…]

Graffiti Dike

Idea:

The Centralville side of the Merrimack has a concrete dike along VFW Highway. Lowell artists would render one or more of their existing works at a larger size – the full height of the dike. The art pieces would be spaced such that the local graffiti taggers would have the opportunity to make their own [Read more…]

Benefit:

Art's always a benefit, public art is a community benefit. Legitimizing graffiti art provides the benefit of making the illegal act a legal act.

Robeson Street Beautification

Idea:

Work with Lowell Transitional Living Center, Mill No. 5, and others to brighten up the alley behind Mill No. 5. This could include tables, cleanup, weeding, and other improvements to make it feel more “intentional.” Maybe even pieces of art–and maybe it could include some bump-outs to widen the sidewalk near LTLC? Let’s see what [Read more…]

Benefit:

Better connection to Middlesex Street, show public realm interest in underutilized area, build partnerships with shelter

Nintendo Nights

Idea:

Put together a weekly or monthly series of events where people can bring picnic food (or we invite food trucks and get an alcohol permit for a beer garden if we’re ambitious) and there are one or two projectors set up in a locked case hooked up to old video games. They can eat and [Read more…]

Benefit:

Would help revitalize a park and bring people together. If it was advertised, maybe people would come from out of town to experience this unique Lowell idea.

Merrimack Street Rotating Cultural Exhibit!

Idea:

Work with the Adult Ed center across from the Library to install an outdoor “rotating cultural exhibit.” This would include a couple of structures that could be chained to the fence that would hold items behind plexiglass, frames to be attached to the fence that could hold informational panels, and perhaps some planters for small [Read more…]

Benefit:

This would be a low-cost way to celebrate Lowell’s diversity and create some visual interest and excitement connecting downtown with “Upper Merrimack Street” walking toward UMass Lowell. If the materials are high enough quality and draw a lot of attention, perhaps it would also contribute to interest in redeveloping abandoned [Read more…]
