Tree of Knowledge Ribbon Cutting

​Please join us in celebrating this amazing work of art! On June 29th from 5-7 you will have the opportunity to meet the talented folks from the Atchison Art Association who brought the Tree of Knowledge to life on the library steps. Inspired by Allison McFerrin and brought to life by Lorna Garrison, the mosaic was installed by a group of local volunteers. Public libraries are where knowledge and ideas are nurtured and developed. The underlying premise of the Tree of Knowledge is that what we read, think and say impacts our growth and the growth of those around us. We will begin our celebration with words from community members followed by the Ribbon Cutting at 5:30. The library courtyard will be filled with games, music and refreshments to be enjoyed for the remainder of the evening.
