The library is more than just a library and has art, books and even food items. We went as part of the ArtWalk, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Whether you are from the area or visiting from out of town, come here for wonderfully locally crafted gifts for loved ones or yourself.

The Galleries at Library Square is a can’t miss if you’re in the River Market district. Free admission, and frequently rotating art and history exhibits in a beautifully renovated historic building. There is a retail gallery featuring a wide array of art and crafts at all price points, made by local people. I always bring my out of town guests here - this place is a gem!

When we were there we had a nice docent who took us to the special exhibit from the Japanese internment in America. There were interesting artwork that were done by the people who were in the camp. They have a lovely gift shop and art display and I found the most beautiful handmade wooden handled letter opener.

I happened into this store/gallery last week when I visited the Butler Center to see the current exhibit of award winning pastel art. Beautiful pottery at reasonable prices, unusual and well-selected local art and jewelry. Well worth your time!
