IN MEMORY OF ALEXANDRA HARTMANN: Uxbridge Public Library Turning the page Turning over a new leaf A new chapter ...all expressions of hope and progress ...and all reflecting the significance of books and reading - and of libraries - to our lives and the well-being of our community The Uxbridge Public Library has commissioned this sculpture to recognize the importance of books and libraries, and also in remembrance of Alexandra Hartmann, who worked at the library for 15 years. Alexandra was the CEO when she died in September 2018. The sculpture, to be cast in bronze, has been created by Uxbridge sculptor Wynn Walters, who also created the Col. Sam Sharpe statue across the road. It will be installed by the main entrance, facing the street, and will be visible from inside or outside the library. The scupture will be financed by donations - in honour of Alex, and in support of the library. It will be a significant addition to public art in the Uxbridge area, as a gift to the community from the library. Donations gratefully accepted at the library.
