Abstract: : What is the role of the public library in communities? Does it go beyond books, databases, and learning resources?

Engaging the community in art activities provides opportunities for citizens to discover the breadth of services and programs available at the library. The Art in the Library program enhances the livability of Plano and the quality of life for its citizens.
