Current Exhibit
Dr. Drab's Lab
Dr. Drab, an evil scientist turned artist, has stolen all the paint colors in the library's Alice C. Sabatini Gallery! You can help rescue the paint colors from Dr. Drab's Lab May 31 - Aug 24, 2025. Each week we will work together with arts and craft projects to get the paint colors back. In this fun art exhibit, you can play in our interactive cityscape and watch throughout the summer as the gallery goes from Drab to fab.
