Be Still – A solo art exhibition by Ben Fernandez
To be still is to open ourselves to our senses, creating space to step away from the busyness of daily life. This exhibit offers a small sampling of the artist’s work and will be on display throughout the month of May at the Chester Library. http://www.benfernanadez.art

Children’s Summer Reading Program
The slogan “Unearth a Story” was chosen to invite layers of interpretation. Whether readers are digging into a good book, uncovering hidden histories, or exploring the past, the slogan underscores the joy of discovery that reading brings. It also emphasizes that every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared—through summer reading exploration!
