Atticus, the Wise Dragon

 On June 9, 2021 local artist, Dutch Bryant presented the Jennie Woodworth Library with a marvelous painting of the wise dragon, Atticus.

Atticus is a special dragon because he loves to read. He encourages others to be a "book dragon" as well.

Make sure to stop by and meet Atticus while you are checking out a book to read.

Thank you to the GFWC - Dickson County Women's Club

"Thank you so much! We can not wait to get these books on our shelves. We LOVE books on diversity!"

- Faith Johnson, JWL Director.

We believe that teaching diversity at a young age is necessary. These books along with others that have been added to our collection will help in doing that.

As always, the Jennie Woodworth Library greatly appreciates the kindness of our community and the community organizations. Our library has been built by our community and is supported by our community.

Thank You.
