City of Reading Mural at the Northeast Branch
Inspired by the works of the late Keith Haring and his Journey of the Radiant Baby exhibit at the Reading Public Museum, the mural at the Northeast branch of the Reading Public Library, entitled The City of Reading, (pronounced reeding) is something that you have to see to really appreciate. Very high WOW factor.
Bronwen Gillette, the director of the Northeast branch, brought together the children, adults, and seniors of the northeast Reading community; and along with Michael Miller, a local artist and art teacher, they created a vibrant reflection of the importance of the library within the community.
A very nice article about the mural appears in the Lifestyle section of the May 5 issue of the Reading Eagle. Read about the grant partnership between the Reading Public Museum and the Reading Public Library and the people who contributed to this masterpiece.
