Dallas Cole visited the Wilsonville Library with a group of Mary’s Woods residents to talk about her
mural “A Library is a Garden of the Mind”.

Dallas Cole sculptured and glazed over 500 ceramic pieces for the entire mural. The pieces were
installed on the patio wall by Ralph Weary, mason artist and landscaper.

The mural was commissioned by our Library Foundation more than 20 years ago. The visitors
commented on how vibrant the colors are after all these years.

Come visit the mural and discover all the children’s books Dallas portrayed, from Gentle Ben by Walt
Morey to The Iliad and The Odyssey.
