Tumble in the Plaza

The Friends of Cortelyou Library are pairing with artist Kathryne Hall on the Tumble mural for the outside of the library, and as we mentioned last week, there will be a party on June 9 to celebrate. In addition to an art-making station and a talk from the artist, there will be live music from the Ditmas Park Dixieland Jazz Band and children’s musician Christopher Sheard.

The Friends group is also looking for donations to a bake sale for that day. If you’re interested, email Laurie at cortelyoufriendsgroup@gmail.com.

The group has donated $1,000 to the project’s Kickstarter campaign, because they “feel so strongly about the impact this project will have on the community’s everyday experience of the library and neighborhood.” Learn more about the project here.
