Pandemic Globe Project

Calling all artists, writers, and poets! The Pandemic Globe project is ongoing.

The library has received some beautiful and interesting submissions and would love to have more. The plan is to keep taking submissions up until Labor Day. Then the globe will be assembled. If you would like to participate, stop by the library and pick up a plate (or more!) to create on.
