		ART PRINTS
			Do you know that the library owns about thirty art prints of various styles and sizes that library patrons can check out for a two-month period? This is a great way to help you to decide what kind of art you would like to place permanently in your home and also to have children appreciate different artists and styles, or simply enjoy an ever changing art display. We have recently added six new prints to the collection. Check them out; they are located in the hallway leading up to the old library.
