“Donor Wall”

Artist:  Betsy Schulz

The “Donor Wall”, created by the same artist who did the tile artwork in the Reading Garden, is located on the front wall between the library entrance and the Poet’s Patio.

Betsy says of her work:  “The tile mural imagery, colors, and words in the large Donor Wall panels represent the spirit of Fallbrook. In between the three large panels are donor tiles and quote tiles reflecting the important influence that books and libraries have on people’s lives.”

  • Donors may select from several sizes of tiles inscribed with names of those to be honored or remembered.
  • For details on this and other options, go to Donor Opportunities
  • Or contact the Friends of the Fallbrook Library, (760) 451-9606.

“The Diaphanous Grove”

Artist:  Michael Stutz

The structure that separates the main library from the Community Room and Poet’s patio, incorporates the textures and shapes that define the Fallbrook region:

  • The diaphanous glow of a Redtail Hawk’s wings seen against the sun,
  • The undulating flow of the Santa Margarita River,
  • The rocky edges of our granite mountains,
  • The cut core of avocados and oranges,
  • The blending of water and fire that nourish and destroy and the constant forces of death and rebirth – woven together in our bold and fragile landscape.

The undulating bronze, stainless steel, and regular steel woven fence, patinaed and sealed with wax, is 8’ h x 30.5’w with a gate on either end.

“Casual Reader”

Artist: Jim Helms

The inspiration comes from the memory of reading a special book…your location while reading becomes unimportant as you are absorbed by the book.

This amusing abstract, created with recycled steel blends the reader and the book.
