Remarks:
The sculpture was created with pieces of a George Greenamyer sculpture commissioned in 1968 for the interior of the original Cherry Hill Library by board member Jenny Porter in honor of her daughter Valerie who died in 1966 at age thirteen. When the original Cherry Hill Library was torn down in 2004, the sculpture was placed in storage. In 2016, David
Ascalon
redesigned the sculpture for the exterior of the new Cherry Hill Library with funding from Valerie Porter's brother Michael Porter.
