Description

"Early Days of Mill Valley: 1901-Present" exhibit, May 2011.

Fact #94: In addition to the monthly art exhibits in the downstairs hallway, the Library has four noteworthy pieces of art on permanent display. Ray Strong's oil painting "Fog over the Golden Gate, from Tamalpais," a generous gift from his daughter, hangs over the fireplace. Emmy Lou Packard's linocut "Logging in Mendocino, 1870" hangs at the top of the stairs down to the Fiction Room. Peter Traphagan's etched brass plate for the Library is just inside the front entryway, on the right. And last but not least, Clement Hurd's charming print of owls in a tree hangs near the elevator in the Children's Room.

Fact #95: The logo for the Mill Valley Library Foundation was designed by award-winning Northern California graphic artist Michael Schwab. The logo features the profiles of a man and a woman reading, sitting back to back. Among Schwab's other works are the logos for the National Parks in this area, including Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods.
