Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III visited the Upper Marlboro Branch Library with Sneaks the Cat.

Library Director Kathleen Teaze joined Baker in front of the Library’s Curiosity Cube, which transports Library representatives and materials to Prince George’s County schools, community centers and events. The Curiosity Cube inspires children to ask questions and investigate what the Prince George’s County Library has to offer, Teaze said.
