New display from artist coming to HCPL
GREENFIELD – The Hancock County Public Library will unveil a new, permanent display in the children’s room at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
The library’s fish tank was recently removed, and the display area – which is at the entrance of the children’s room and can be seen from the main entrance – has been covered and “under construction.”
While library officials are not yet announcing what the new display will be, the event Feb. 1 will allow participants to “be among the first to see the new display at the entrance to the children’s room and learn all about its creation from a talented (and nationally known) local artist. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the process of creating this permanent fixture that will inspire and spark the imaginations of patrons for years to come.”
The library is located at 900 W. McKenzie Road, Greenfield. Register at hcplibrary.org or call 317-462-5141 ext. 240.
