Summer Library Crawl
Get to know your libraries! Participants can visit area libraries, including branches, from June 1 through August 31. Pick up your palette at the Information Desk, check out what each library has to offer, and get your stamp/sticker!
We invite local artists of all ages to showcase their creativity and share what makes Way Library special to you. Whether it's our vast collection of books, educational programs for all ages, welcoming spaces for reading and studying, opportunities to connect with others, access to technology, or commitment to preserving local history—let your artwork reflect what you love most about Way Library.
There will be three entry categories: adult (ages 18 and up), teen (ages 11-17), and youth (ages 5-10)
