The Washington Public Library is going to have a Gallery Talk with Washington Art Historian Carol Ray. You can join Ray as she takes a tour of the library’s artwork, giving information about the pieces and the artists that created them. This event is Thursday and begins at 11 AM. This event is one of many that the Public Library offers throughout the year. Washington Public Library Director, Cary Ann Siegfried had this to say about the use of the public library and what people may forget, “That libraries are not warehouses for books. We’re places for people to connect, create, imagine, and explore, and you know, share their talents with others. I don’t think people necessarily think of that first when they think of libraries.”  You can find a link to the Washington Public Libraries event calendar with this news story at KCIIradio.com
