(La Porte, IN) - A celebration of a new mural in La Porte’s downtown area is scheduled tomorrow.  The mural is on the south side of the historic La Porte Library Exchange building on Indiana Avenue just south of Lincolnway.  The celebration will be outside the main library branch across the street from the exchange building.

“We hope everybody will come,” said La Porte County Public Library Assistant Director Toni Kester Bulger.

She said people will be able to look at the mural during the celebration and enjoy stories about murals along with refreshments.  The celebration is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

The mural was ordered as a way of welcoming people to the La Porte Library Exchange and to reflect through art the new future of the over century old building, which was once home to switchboard operators connecting people with each other on telephone calls.
