Such as, Off The Fridge Pop Up featuring artwork from the Parma PTA Council’s children’s art show Show Your Voice was on display, Chalk The Block an outdoor chalk drawing event, a coloring contest and several Pizza Party Story Time. There’s been author book signings, talks, and book launches. Plus coffee tastings and live music by Serenity Chamber Players. Besides these events, and tons of books, they also carry toys, puzzles, games and gifts. BTW, they have Parma-Opoly! 

Side note – the We Are Parma Proud’s Picnic In The Park’s, fun and dog lovin’ Flamingo Pet Parade was the brain child of Wall of Books manager Theresa Nagy. Kuddos to her creativity!
