The Roswell Public Library Tree of Knowledge is a 17 foot-tall sculpture composed of more than 2,800 custom-made tiles made by community members and library patrons to show their love for the library. The tiles include people’s favorite books, authors and other literary words that are important to them. Artist Sue Wink, designed the tree and set up workshops for the public to make their tiles. The tiles were used for the bark of the tree, while the branches and leaves are metal. Inside many of the leaves is a word that relates to what a library provides in terms of reading, learning and nurturing creativity.
