Celebrate the Return of the Animals with Local Artist Beth Gripenstraw
Meet local artist Beth Gripenstraw who will share her latest project, an illustrated children’s book, Lou - Let’s Go to Mexico. Beth is the creator of the delightful animal sculptures that live at the Scotts Valley Library. The full-sized papier mâché animals, birds, and reptiles are all endangered species. When the library was closed for renovations, the animals were stored but now all are back in their full glory.
We’ll start with a quick tour of the library to visit the animal sculptures followed by a book talk in the Fireside Room where Beth will read from her new book. Attendees will have an opportunity to purchase Beth’s book and get it autographed.
Refreshments and a photo booth will follow.
