Wonder Awaits.
For our Year of Wonder, we're partnering with four local artists to celebrate the wonders of every season. Our spring artist Adrian Valencia draws inspiration from beauty and fantasy in queer culture. Visit a branch to pick up a postcard version of his piece celebrating growth and renewal at the Library, or download your own to print and color.
The current Douglass-Truth Branch was expanded and reopened Oct. 14, 2006. The building follows historic preservation guidelines of the original library, which is a city landmark. It has a grand staircase as well as the Soul Pole, a totem pole depicting African-American history given to the Library in 1972 by what was then called the Rotary Boys Club. (Due to age and exposure to the elements, the Soul Pole has recently been taken down for evaluation and possible restoration. Keep up to date at www.spl.org/SoulPole.)
