Oh, I love that! Here’s what Google has to say:

" A bronze sculpture of Marcie reading a book on a park bench, accompanied by Woodstock perched beside her, is located outside the Central Santa Rosa Library in California. This statue is part of the Peanuts on Parade public art projects honoring Charles M. Schulz, often featuring the studious, quirky character enjoying a book. It was created by TivoliToo, Inc., a Minnesota-based company that holds the license to create Peanuts sculptures."

Thanks @kim.kovacs I tried to do an image search but wasn’t getting results. I absolutely know it is Marcie and Woodstock.

Gotta love technology and that it tagged a book when you said you loved it. :joy:

Haha, yeah, that algorithm definitely ain’t perfect.

Don Quixote and Sancho in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, birthplace of Cervantes. Oh, and that is Chase from Paw Patrol in Don Quixote’s hand. He was a fav of my friend’s little guy. As we travelled, Chase sent my little buddy pics of Spain accompanied with stories.

I went by my local library the other day and snapped a pic of this guy who welcomes all library visitors. He’s pointing toward the door but you can also sit beside him and his arm goes around you. Littles like to sit on his knee. This was very intentionally planned with the sculptor.

What a cool welcome to the library.

Yes, definitely the dynamic duo.
