Garland Central Library- Grand Opening

Suspended in light at the heart of the Garland Central Library is The Story Waiting to be Told — a vibrant glass sculpture by artist Carlyn Ray.

Carlyn Ray Designs Garland Public Library — *The Mayor Dylan Hedrick and Council Members of Garland with Carlyn*

Made of over 250 handcrafted glass books, letters, and shapes, this installation celebrates the joy of reading and the power of imagination.

The Grand Opening was a beautiful success, filled with smiles, wonder, and excitement.

“Seeing everyone’s faces light up was the pinnacle of the experience! I loved how much joy it brought this community.”
Carlyn Ray

Bringing Stories to Life Through Glass

We believe in the power of glass to connect and inspire.

This installation was created with help from the Garland community.

Local children, adults, and city leaders decorated glass letters that now shine in the final piece, adding heart and meaning to the work.

Suspended above the children’s reading area, the sculpture invites wonder and a reminder that our stories matter— and imagination can take us anywhere.
