Hope Sound Library mural chosen; libraries announce concerts, volunteer needs and family New Year countdown
Summary
The county's Art in Public Places program chose an artist for an outdoor mural at Hope Sound Library; hosts also flagged library concerts (Dec. 27), literacy volunteer opportunities and a family 'noon' New Year's celebration at Peter and Julie Cummings Library.
Mac and Courtney reported that the county's Art in Public Places program selected an artist to paint a new outdoor mural at the Hope Sound Library. The hosts said the final piece is expected to be finished and potentially ready for a ribbon cutting around March (the hosts noted that detail "wasn't in the board item").
The podcast also listed several library programs and volunteer needs. The Blake Library is recruiting literacy volunteers for ESL and GED-preparation tutoring; a session was specifically noted for Dec. 27 from 2–4 p.m. The hosts said teaching or tutoring experience is preferred but not required.
On programming, the hosts noted a historic concert Dec. 27 celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall and a family-friendly New Year's 'noon' countdown at the Peter and Julie Cummings Library on Dec. 31, with craft and dance activities starting at 11:30 a.m. The hosts said recordings of many holiday events will be posted to the county's YouTube channel and linked in show notes.
