New murals at the Forest Avenue Library New murals were recently painted by local artists on the walls around the Forest Avenue Library! These new works of art were facilitated by the team at Liz Lidgett Gallery. The artists behind the murals are Jimmy Navarro, Marissa Hernandez, and the team from Liz Lidgett Gallery. Plan a visit to the library to see the art in person. These new works of art are made possible through the support of the Des Moines Public Library Foundation and the Kruidenier Forest Avenue Library Endowment.
