What’s Happening in June?
Meet Dewey the Dragon!
Library Director Sharon Cohen was thrilled to help unveil DEWEY THE DRAGON at a special event on May 21st.
The design for Dewey was created by Chris Runco and chosen from over 250 entries. Runco is a long-time Burbank resident, veteran theme park designer, and artist who produced editorial cartoons for the Burbank Leader and Glendale News Press.
The Burbank Neighborhood Leadership Program, a grass-roots effort designed to develop leadership skills while inspiring future community leaders, spearhead-ed the project. The group raised the funds necessary to create Burbank Public Library’s first official mascot.
Dewey will be formally introduced at the June 3rd Burbank City Council meeting.
