THIS MONTH IN PPL: The murals for the "Boys' and Girls' Room" (now the Martha P. Sherman Mural Room) were unveiled on April 23, 1935! This was a FERA art project and was painted by Edward Dubuque. The five murals that stretch across two walls represent characters and incidents from well-known children's literature. Want to learn more about PPL's 150 years of history and innovation?
