Original Wall Murals were commissioned by The Friends from artists Sean and Patrick Johnson for the Children’s Room at the Corona Public Library from 2001-2006.
A Redwood Forest greets visitors at the entrance from the Library’s main hallway. Wander to the left and you’ll find pictorials of the Pacific Coast and the High Sierras. Spy the sea creatures between coral reefs on the walls of this area and enjoy the brown bear and golden eagles decorating the rocky crags of the Sierra mountains further back in the room. In the main part of the Children’s area is a depiction of Corona’s famous Lemon Industry history. Sit a spell on the orange crates and be a part of the scene. In the Story Hour Room a large representation of the High Desert environment graces one entire wall, complete with coyotes and tarantula amongst the cactus and rock formations.
The most recent addition to the space (on the right upper wall) is a delightful rendition of Corona Rooftops At Night featuring some of the historical Grand Avenue homes with their turn-of-the-century architecture.
