Websites I use…


I thought I would periodically highlight a website that I have used with patrons at the reference desk. 

So one question I get asked from time to time is who painted that mural in the parking lot & what’s it supposed to be about?  The site I turn to for this question is http://www.muralconservancy.org/.  This site dedicates itself to, among other things, documenting the murals of Los Angeles.  Once on the site you can browse through mural images or search for one you are particularly looking for.  Follow this link to find the entry for the mural in the library’s parking lot.  It’s by Luis Becerra and is titled Libraries Educate, Governments Make Cutbacks – nice images of it are included as well.
