The new community mural at the library is more than beautiful art – it’s a visual story of our shared connections, filled with meaningful symbols worth discovering.

Look closely at the centerpiece tree, and you'll notice something special: its trunk and roots are formed from different hands reaching toward each other. This represents how our community grows stronger through the unique contributions of each person, connecting past, present, and future generations.

The scenes of families and neighbors enjoying our parks and trails aren't just decorative. They reflect how our shared green spaces naturally bring us together, showing the interconnected nature of community life.

The Minnesota River and Credit River flowing through the mural carry deeper meaning. Just as rivers collect water from many sources into one flowing body, these waterways
symbolize how different people, ideas, and cultures come together in harmony within our community.

Above it all soars an eagle—a native symbol of strength and connection that honors our place on Dakota land.

Next time you visit the library, take a moment to really see what's been created. You might discover your own place in this beautiful tapestry of our shared home.
