On Thursday, Franklin County Public Library announced the unveiling of their StoryWalk at Summit View Business Park.

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. – The Franklin County Public Library is launching its very first StoryBoard Project. From there, drop off your project at any Franklin County Public Library branch and at some point this year, your project will be displayed at the Rocky Mount location and social media. The pandemic has been sort of the catalyst for all the reflection and stress and concern that people have had and the disruptions to daily life, but there is a lot of other stuff going on,” said Christine Arena, Franklin County Public Library programming, marketing and outreach director. Using the template tell what 2020 meant to you or what you want 2021 to look like. If you can’t drop it off in-person you can email a photo of your story to TheStoryBoardProject@FranklinCountyVA.gov or mail it to Franklin County Public Library, 355 Franklin Street, Rocky Mount, VA 24151.

ROANOKE, Va. – If you have questions about the census, you can get those answered today and every Tuesday this month. You can drop off supplies from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. at Sam’s Club on Wards Road in Lynchburg. Roanoke County holds a virtual discussion about advocating for children in foster care. A virtual running event kicks off today, helping the arts in the Roanoke Valley.
