Jo Knox of Koinonia Farm, who has become very special to our library, is a professional artist who is donating her talent and time to decorate the Lake Blackshear Regional Library's Storytime Room with a hand-painted mural. The mural begins with "Once Upon A Time," featuring our favorite fantasy figures, and will of course end with "And They Lived Happily Ever After." Thank you, Jo, for sharing your gift with the children! It will live on and on.
