Poquoson Public Library has named Poquoson resident Yvonne Boone its artist of the month.

Boone’s artwork is on display through July 31 at the library, 500 City Hall Ave. Many of her paintings are water-related scenes, and are often inspired by her travels in Greece, Italy and the southwest U.

The Poquoson Library is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1-5 p.m. Sunday.
