Art Supporters Dedicate Sculpture at Library

Julie Joy Saypoff, a local artist, teamed up with the Arts Advisory Committee to complete the outside art that could be the first of many for the committee.

A group of art enthusiasts gathered at the Millburn Public Library Friday night to dedicate a new piece of art. But it's not something that's hanging on the wall inside the library. It's a sculpture titled "Inspiration" created by Millburn artist Julie Joy Saypoff. It depicts a pile of books with a series of words in copper.  Saypoff told the crowd gathered everyone's life in the community is centered on the library and the schools. It made perfect sense to her to have the sculpture there. Library Director Bill Swinson said it shows the culture and life of the community.
