What a day to celebrate a major milestone for Pickerington Public Library. The Discovery Pavilion—a new outdoor community space for learning and connection—is officially open!

The ribbon-cutting and Bunny Party on April 1 brought the community together in the best way—full of energy, excitement, and plenty of smiles. Despite rain in the forecast, the sun showed up right on time—making it a perfect day to gather, celebrate, and explore this new outdoor space.
 
Library Reading Ambassador Violet the Cow and a group of little library friends officially cut the ribbon, marking the opening of Discovery Pavilion and kicking off a new chapter for programs, early literacy classes, and community connection. Thank you to the Library Board of Trustees, community leaders, families, and friends who attended.

Hop into the Grand Opening Celebration!

Join us on April 1 at Pickerington Main Library for the Grand Opening & Ribbon-Cutting of our new outdoor space, Discovery Pavilion. The Bunny Party is the official Grand Opening program, marking the debut of the Library’s new outdoor community space.

It all begins at 12:30 p.m. with the official ribbon-cutting, and the Bunny Party kicks off at 1:00 p.m.

We’ll cut the ribbon and officially open the Pavilion, then keep the energy going with bunny-themed games, crafts, stories, a scavenger hunt, photos with Violet, and a live bunny visiting from Bring the Farm to You. The Bunny Party fun will take place inside and outside as we put the Pavilion into action on day one.
