Let's celebrate summer with AMAZING sidewalk art! Come and add your creative pizzazz to our library sidewalks!

Enjoy summer with a splash of color and creativity at our Chalk Zone! Join us for an outdoor art adventure where YOU are the artist. Decorate the library sidewalks with your boldest, brightest chalk masterpieces—doodles, designs, or full-on murals, anything goes!

Whether you're a seasoned sidewalk sketcher or just want to have some colorful fun, this is your chance to let your imagination run wild. Your artwork might even be featured on our Chalk Zone Wall of Fame inside the library!

No registration needed—just stop by the front desk to sign in and pick up your chalk.

All ages welcome! Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a family art day. Let your chalk spirit soar and help us turn the library walkway into a vibrant summer gallery!
