Dedicated in April 2004, this Collection of original picture book art by award-winning illustrators, as well as a circulating and non-circulating copies of the book for which the art was created, was begun with gifts given to Friends of Murray Library in memory of Ruth Engle, a charter member who also served on its Board. New artworks are added to the Engle Memorial Collection purchased with gifts from Friends and donors. The illustrations reflect a variety of media, styles, and subjects, and include works by illustrators from Australia, China, Mali, and Russia, as well as America.
The collection has been useful to the Arts and Education departments. Materials from the collection are on display throughout the library and are open for public viewing.
Circulation Policy: The published works that contain the illustrations found in this collection regularly circulate under the same terms as juvenile fiction and non-fiction titles.
Where to View the Collection: Select illustrations are on display throughout the library's main and lower levels. These will periodically rotate.
