Watercolor Exhibit is up!

Don't forget -- this exhibit runs only for the month of April, and there are several related activities for for you to enjoy.  For details, see the April edition of the library's newsletter, Check It Out!  http://cio.slpl.org/2016/03/31/central-library-hosts-2016-missouri-international-watercolor-exhibit/

And while you're here seeing the exhibit--or learning how to watercolor--or hearing the Director of the Missouri Watercolor Society speak, do drop by the Fine Arts Room to see (and check out) our great selection of books on watercolor art and artists.  Our display cart features just a few of them.

Second large batch of new books this month!

As promised, here are more wonderful new books that have come in this month.  The list is especially rich in architecture titles.  When it rains, it pours!
