FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Town of Port Deposit Announces New Sign at Little Free Library
Port Deposit, Maryland — October 13, 2025 — The Town of Port Deposit is pleased to announce the installation of a new, beautifully designed sign at the Little Free Library, located at the corner of Center Street and 7 North Main Street near the entrance to the municipal parking lot.
Thanks to the leadership of Councilman Dan Berlin and collaboration with local artist Jessica Kehl, the Little Free Library now features a unique, handcrafted sign that adds charm and local artistic flair to this community spot.
Jessica Kehl, a talented Port Deposit artist, is also known for her work on the Railroad Wall Mural Project at the Dog Park and the sign for the Pocket Rock Park in parking lot 2 — a colorful and inspiring mural and sign that celebrates the town’s history and creative spirit. Her new sign continues her mission of bringing beauty and storytelling into public spaces throughout Port Deposit.
The Port Deposit Little Free Library is an official registered member of Little Free Library®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access worldwide through a network of volunteer-led book-sharing boxes. Our library serves as a vibrant symbol of Port Deposit’s commitment to creativity, literacy, and connection.
“We’re thrilled to showcase another piece of Jessica’s artistry in our town,” said Mayor Tome, Jr. “We also want to thank Councilman Berlin for his commitment to fostering literacy and local art initiatives that make Port Deposit such a special place to live.”
Residents are encouraged to stop by, admire the new sign, and take or leave a book at the Little Free Library — a small but meaningful reminder that community thrives when we share together.
