The Botetourt Libraries provide more than just great books. Now you can enjoy relaxing art while browsing the stacks.  Local artist Cheyenne Renee, of Covington, has painted murals at Eagle Rock and Blue Ridge Libraries, and on the exterior of the Buchanan Library as part of Buchanan's Mural and Commemorative Garden Project. The seed for this idea was planted when Cheryl Wagner, the Branch Manager at Buchanan Library, read that small towns were using murals to revitalize community spaces. Wagner looked at the landscaped area behind the library and wanted to create a 'more intentional planting design' and knew that a mural would draw attention to the space.
