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!
