Help us create a mural in the Children's Library to honor Mary Ferris!

When beloved children’s librarian Mary Ferris retired from Wood Library in 2024 after 50 years of service to the community, library leaders bandied about ideas to honor and celebrate her distinguished career. “We settled on the idea of a mural in the children’s room that reflects Mary’s playful and creative approach to getting children excited about reading,” says Library Director Jenny Goodemote. 

The mural, designed by Heather Heffernan, will be installed around a new doorway which patrons will pass through from the Children’s Room outside to the library’s new Outdoor Reading Garden. The mural will feature an array of wildlife, insects, and plants which ties in nicely with the reading garden. 

Our fundraising goal for this project is $8,000. All donations to Wood Library on ROC The Day, Tuesday, December 3, 2024, will be used to fund the mural to honor Mary Ferris.

Donations can be made through this link on December 3.  We also will accept cash or checks in the library that day.
