Wood County Youth Program mural beginning

The Wood County Youth Programs painted a mural at McMillan Library over a two week span in April.  The mural, next to the butterfly garden entrance in the children’s section, depicts native Wisconsin butterflies, plants, and pollinator insects like monarchs, swallow tail butterflies, beebalm, milkweed, and bumblebees. The mural was completed in a paint by number format. ADP case manager and mural project leader Libby Conway sketched the original image.  16 youth, ranging in age from 10-17, helped paint the mural along with 11 other staff members.
