We had such a great time celebrating the unveiling of our new mural in the Teen Department! Thank you to artist Oneida Aceves Treviño for bringing "Boundless Imagination: Tales of the RGV" to life and to Sofia M. Treviño, past #STBF Youth Bookmark Design Contest winner, for contributing her talent to this beautiful piece. From folklorico dancers to mermaids, ocelots, and astronauts, this 28-foot mural is filled with South Texas storytelling and creativity. Stop by the Main Library to see it for yourself!

Enjoy free pizza, meet the artist, and take photos with this vibrant new addition to the Library.
