WICOMICO PUBLIC LIBRARY UNVEILS NORTH SIDE MURAL

Third Friday Hosts Library Mural Ribbon Cutting 

At last month’s chilly Third Friday, the city of Salisbury gathered downtown at Wicomico Public Library for a ribbon cutting to celebrate and unveil the north side mural. 

Wicomico Public Library and Remedy Church’s partnership transformed what began as faded concrete into a three dimensional bookshelf with the spines of famous children’s books designed by an award winning local artist, Douglas E. Draper Jr. Over the past few months, countless hands from the community have been placed on the wall. Now complete, the mural stands as a mark of unity and culture for Downtown Salisbury. 

Upon cutting the ribbon, Ryan Weaver, lead pastor at Remedy Church, urged the attenders to exclaim “Welcome to the Renaissance,” thereby ushering in new momentum for downtown and possibly more plans for murals surfacing throughout the historic district. 

Wicomico Public Library has locations in Downtown Salisbury, the Centre at Salisbury, in Pittsville, a computer access station in Bivalve, and the Library Bookmobile. Not only does the Wicomico Public Library offer numerous resources such as free Internet access, a variety of classes and events, and an online virtual library with eBooks, but it engages with the community by supporting learning, building community, and enriching lives.
