Library Hosts Morning Brew

The White County Public Library hosted the Chamber of Commerce’s most recent Morning Brew event, where business leaders and community figures gather to share breakfast, network, and share updates in the community. The library showcased its extensive Summer Reading Program, with opportunities for all ages to get involved, as well as an update on the beautiful mural being painted by Bockman by artist Tommy Narramore.

Librarian Cathy Farley shared with members of the Chamber the many events that the library is putting on for its Summer Reading Program. Most notably, of course, are the events for children such as the Puppet Show on June 4.

The teens, not to be left out, also have their first event on Monday, June 8, having a kickoff with The Wacky Lemon. Lastly, even adults get to have their own fun. The library will be hosting weekly drawings for adults who swing down to fill out a slip saying which book they will be reading for the week. The grand prize is on July 17, which will be two gliders and a fire pit.

More than that, though, everybody at the event wanted to hear more about that Sparta-White County mural. Tommy Narramore has been working hard on it for a few weeks now, with the “Sparta” portion nearly complete. Farley shared a bit more information on what the rest of the mural might look like. While she could not specify for the sake of keeping it a surprise for White Countians, she did share that the rest of the mural will be depicting artistry, natural scenery, and it will end with the library itself.

The Morning Brew went as well as usual, with dozens of chamber members representing various businesses and organizations around the county gathering for an early meal. The Chamber hosts these events roughly every three months, and they hope to see you at the next Morning Brew.
