MEDINA – The Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council has a new free art library outside the Author’s Note book store in Medina at 519 Main St.

The art library was architecturally designed by Jeff Pasnik, built and designed by Carpenters Local Union 276, and painted by Jaylah Sherman.

They also made and painted the free art library outside Hoag Library in Albion.

GO Art! has another free art library in Batavia created by Bill Schutt and sponsored by the Batavia Rotary Club.

A fourth art library is expected next weekend in Holley outside the Community Free Library. GO Art! also would like one at the Woodward Memorial Library in LeRoy.

Gregory Hallock, GO Art! executive director, said the organization is working to add art kits for the sites and welcomes donations.

This free art library was added about a week ago outside Author’s Note in Medina.
