Join us as we kick-off our summer reading program Fizz, Boom-READ! and hold a public art dedication for the new Robert Clements sculpture, “The Muse of Learning,” that now stands at the library plaza. There will be lots of fun activities for the whole family, including petting zoo, arts & crafts, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk that will run from 10 am until 12 noon. The public art dedication and ribbon-cutting will be held at 11 am in the library plaza at the new sculpture. And for the finale at 12 noon, Peter Hart of Atlanta Puppet will perform a puppet show with his amazing marionettes – a show filled with music, audience participation, and lots of fun for the whole family – polka dancing, singing unicorns, bluegrass fiddlin’, oh my!
