Artist, muralist, illustrator, and picturebook
author Kevin Luthardt gave the Youth Services Storytime Room a
brand new look. He covered the walls with a colorful large-scale
mural. The underwater scene features a magical variety of fish,
animals, children, and plants. The mural is funded by a generous
donation from Friends of the Library.
Ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception
Luthardt, who once worked in the Youth Services Department, has
created murals for a number of schools and other institutions in the
Chicago metropolitan area. He is the author and illustrator of the
picture books, Mine!, Peep!, and Larabee. Three more
books featuring his work are scheduled for publication during
2004/2005.
