Lyons has a new resident!

Help the Library Name Their Bear!

Lyons has a new resident whose address is the corner of Fourth and Railroad Avenues! Created by local artist Anita Miller, the sculpture, depicting a large bear with a book-reading boy in its lap, was installed at the Library in November. Dave Papuga, of Lyons Lawn and Landscape, generously donated his time, lift, and trailer in the effort to relocate the bear from Anita’s garage to the Library.

Help the library name the new sculpture.
