The Larchwood Children’s Room at the local library is currently hosting an exhibit called 'The Adventures of Woodward,' created by Sedgwick artist Swede Plaut. This exhibit, located in the library's glass cases, displays the imaginative world of Woodward, a character originally from a greeting card illustration of a puppy and a spider.

Swede Plaut developed this character from a single image into a series of stories featuring Woodward, including an encounter with a flying saucer and a small green visitor. This development showcases the potential of artistic creativity.

The exhibit also includes interactive elements for young visitors. Above the display, there are 'Make Your Own Woodward' sheets, which encourage children to create their own stories within the Woodward universe. This interactive feature is designed to foster creativity and participation among children.
