Opening reception for "The Joy of Water" (photos) by Willie Herath. Exhibit runs from February 28–March 21.
Artist's Statement
I believe that every person has eternal value and that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for someone else... especially someone that you don't even know. This photographic series, THE JOY OF WATER, captures the radiant faces of the men, women, and children who have received clean water because of the generous people who support Wells 4 Wellness. Each photo was taken by Willie Herath while visiting multiple drill sites in Niger, Africa.

The Sprague Branch's high-gabled English Tudor style building has served the Sugar House community for three generations. The building was selected by the American Library Association in 1935 as the "Most Beautiful Branch Library in America." The two-level facility was opened in 1928 and has been renovated several times as use continues to increase. An expansion project to add a new public meeting room and remodel the building was completed in April 2001, which increased the square footage to 13,058. As the Sugar House shopping district sprouted up, the Sprague Branch continues to hold its historical charm and provide community members with outstanding public library services. Free parking is available to the east and south of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
