Abington Library ‘Digs into Reading’

Sixteen Abington Senior High School art students and teachers recently painted a colorful new mural in the Abington Free Library children’s department.

Supporting this year’s summer reading theme, “Dig into Reading,” the mural features a porcupine, frog and other burrowing creatures engaged in a variety of reading activities.

The mural will remain on display throughout the summer to encourage children to join the library’s summer reading club.

This year’s artists include, (back row, from left): Olivia Harris; Brigid Peachey; Richard Metz, teacher; Amanda Foran; David Ferro, teacher; Amanda Guntz; Jordan Marcotte. Middle row, from left: Dariya Medynska; Eleanor Chan; Blaire Files; Catherine Bray; Emma Britt. Front row, from left: Rachel McDonald; Ariel Brenna; Julia Finestone; Nicole Caracciolo, teacher.
