PROGRAMS – Open

We were very fortunate to have scheduled our 10th annual "We Love the Library Day” for February 22nd, just days before the library closed. We were able to have a really good turnout and a memorable celebration with Wings and Wheels Day.

Throughout the morning, adults and children were invited to operate model trains on four different layouts provided by the North Atlanta O-Gauge Railroad Club. Guests could also climb into a race car and a Soapbox Derby car, have a photo with a balloon bi-plane, munch on themed refreshments, make a pinwheel, bid on items in a silent auction, and take home a souvenir. Outside, everyone could explore a vintage Mustang and a new Corvette and most especially, two Dunwoody Police cars sirens and all!

It all started with story time for the younger kids with Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch and concluded with a parrot show from Parrot Pro Productions, where the audience could not only learn all about parrots but converse with them, hold them and share a photo.

One of the more unusual activities, was a visit from the Library Fairy who floated through the area and tasked kids with three questions. If they could answer all three, they were rewarded with a packet of magic seeds.

We had a tremendous amount of enthusiastic help from FODL members and their friends for this day-long event. THANKS TO ALL!

A quote from Mayor Deutsch to sum up the day:"This makes my heart happy!”
