Thank you to all of our wonderful community artists!

As we move into a new season, our community flower display has been removed from the Smart Room windows. These colorful flowers decorated our space all summer, and we want to say a huge thank you to every artist who designed a flower and shared their creativity with us!

This community art project was inspired by the Vine of Knowledge sculpture by Virgil and Lucille Cantini, which stands as a beautiful memorial to Jennie King Mellon. Your artwork brought so much life and vibrancy to the library over the last few months. Swipe through to see some of the wonderful examples from our summer display!

We are making way for something new...
We are officially clearing the space to make room for a brand-new fall mural designed by our Teen Advisory Board! Keep an eye on the Smart Room windows over the coming weeks to watch our autumn transformation take shape.
