From the page to the wall, storybook characters from beloved children’s classics are now portrayed in a mural in the Tompkins County Public Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room, and the public is invited to celebrate at its May 21st unveiling.
Readers of all ages will love the vibrant mural, created by artist Mary Beth Ihnken, with the help of local teens. The mural features a diverse group of characters from beloved children’s stories including: Jack from “Jack and the Beanstalk,” the Chesire Cat from “Alice in Wonderland” and Humpty Dumpty.
The mural will be unveiled at 11:00 AM and will include an opportunity for attendees to meet Ihnken and the teens who helped design and paint it. The program is free and open to an all-ages audience and will be followed by Family Storytime.
The mural was made possible by a grant from the Community Arts Partnership.
