“The physical building of the new Scotts Valley library lends itself so well to art with its large, expansive walls and wonderful natural light,” notes Valri Peyser, Chair of the art program. “So it is very gratifying that the community is embracing ‘Art in the Library’ so enthusiastically, and our county’s many experienced and respected artists are eager to participate.” The library had more than 150,000 visitors last year and is the second busiest branch of the Santa Cruz Public library system. Library employees report positive feedback on the Art Program and all visitors eagerly await the opening of the new 3,500 square foot patio that will expand the library facilities in the Spring of 2013.
