The cover art, “Ripples in Infinity,” is a watercolor, ink and acrylic painting by Kelly Scott. In the words of the artist, this painting “delves into the detailed elements that form a unified whole while suggesting that each ‘whole’ is part of a greater interconnectedness. Regardless of one’s perspective, there is always more waiting to be discovered.” Scott’s art will be on exhibit at Cedar Roe Library this spring — see page 22 for more details.
This painting also exudes the theme for the Library’s Summer Reading program, “Color Our World,” which intends to encourage readers of all ages to embrace the beauty of art in all its forms, creating a colorful tapestry of experiences for everyone. Starting on page 10, this Guide is full of colorful and fun-filled events happening at the Library this summer.
Johnson County Library has a great selection of events and activities for the summer. You can read all about it in the Summer 2025 Guide, which will be available next week at a branch near you.
