Wondering what the answer is to the Where in Chelsea challenge? Here are the first two answers:

Week 1– Right in front of the library we have a fantastic new sculpture, Soft Tail Goose.

Week 2- That mysterious sculptural detail is from the Corinthian columns on the old bank building right down main street!

Ninja Cat wishes you a happy 4th of July, and reminds you the library is closed on Sunday!

Heather Anne Leavitt entertained and educated 40 local kids and teens in the art of cake decorating on Wednesday.

Youth Service Group volunteers received special training from Heather so they could provide hands on support to kids attending the program.

Some nifty creations!

If you’re not sure about what Youth Service Group does for the library, check out these great photos from Summer Reading Kickoff!

Teens are a big part of what makes our programming work!  This year we had a record-breaking turnout for our first event, signing up a total over 450 kids and teens.
