TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â If you and your children are looking for something to do this weekend, the library may just be the answer.
All Leon County Libraries are handing out adventure bags to children, with each bag containing items about animals and critters.
The adventure bags were so popular last year, the library decided to bring them back this year. The bags are all a part of our summer reading program which this year is titled tails and tales so each bag is thematically connected to a critter or one kind or another, says Alden Field, a librarian with the Leroy Collins Leon County Main Public Library.

Leon County Government and KCCI (Knight Creative Communities Institute) invite residents to submit artwork for the chance to have their art transform utility boxes at libraries and other public spaces as part of the Art of the Box project.
“We are excited to further support Leon County’s thriving art scene by partnering with KCCI on Art of the Box, which gives local artists an opportunity to display their works in unexpected places,” said Leon County Commission Chairman Rick Minor, who also serves as a KCCI Advisory Board Member. “Projects like Art of the Box showcase the diversity, creativity and incredible talent of Leon County’s visual artists.
