Bay Springs Library Welcomes Chuck Galey

The Bay Springs Library kicked Summer Reading off with a colorful start thanks to a special visit from children’s book author and illustrator Mr. Chuck Galey! 

Mr. Chuck, a proud member of the Mississippi Arts Commission’s Artist Roster, guided our young readers through a fun and interactive session on color choices and illustration techniques. Every child had the chance to draw their very own robot under Mr. Chuck’s expert instruction. 

He graciously answered all the kids’ questions and brought inspiration to every corner of the room. Thank you, Mr. Galey, for such a wonderful experience!
