the state. A map of our library district can be found

The photo on the right shows the sculpture
that stands outside the library on Walnut Street. Titled "Paper
Airplanes: Journeys of the Imagination," this piece by
Gary Lee Price
is "about fantasy and enjoying our childhood and all of its wonders."
