According to Mrs. DiLallo, the library paintings were done by Mrs. Fran MacArthur, Charlton Heights librarian from 1974-1981. She made the outlines, with the assistance of Mrs. Marge Priester, by projecting transparencies of images from books onto the library walls with an overhead projector. They then painted the colors in. As best I can tell, the titles and copyright dates listed below are the correct ones from which the paintings were taken. Please let me know if I have made errors!
