SAN MARCOS PUBLIC LIBRARY
Step into a world of creativity and inspiration through the new mural at the Children’s Courtyard at the San Marcos Public Library. Local artist Joshua Farrell has transformed the concrete courtyard into a whimsical koi pond by painting directly onto the courtyard ground. The newly unveiled mural is now open to the public during library hours where one can find themselves immersed in an environment filled with painted dragonflies, beetles, crickets and lizards. The koi fish act as both a beautiful symbol of nature and an educational opportunity to talk about invasive species that affect the town’s river.
Farrell volunteers most Fridays at the library with his wife and son as a part of the library’s Friends of the Library organization. The group’s mission is to strengthen the library through fundraising, volunteer work and advocacy.
