Friends of Ramona Library plan sculpture dedication

Friends of Ramona Library will hold a dedication ceremony for its new sculpture, displayed in front of the library, at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 16.

Created by artist Leslie Souza, who will speak at the ceremony, the sculpture will be dedicated to the late Elyse Kuhn, a Ramona resident and longtime library advocate. Kuhn, who died last week, started Friends of Ramona Library in 1985 and served many years as its president, and was one of three who were instrumental in getting the new library built at 1275 Main St. in 2011.

Friends of Ramona Library paid for the sculpture, said the group’s president, Dr. Michael Barker, “and thought it would be fitting to dedicate it to her for all of her hard work.”

Preceding the dedication will be a short business meeting of the Friends of Ramona Library at 1. p.m.
