Tour exhibits and talk with representatives of diverse culture, robed in their exquisitely designed and brilliantly colored native garb. Visiting cultural groups will interact with the public as they sing, provide instrumental performances,  perform their native dances, share samples of their cuisines, memorabilia, and engage you in a stimulating discussion about their cultural traditions.  Library staff  have planned hands-on cultural craft experiences for children, teens and the young at heart.  More hands-on  painting workshops will take place with local artist, professor and community servant, Randell Henry.  Stop by our face painting booth and by all means our delectable food court.
