Sculptor John Mishler of Goshen College delivered the donor recognition "wall" to the library today for mounting in the gallery. This wooden replica of a book shelf uses book spines to represent donors to the Next Generation capital campaign that funded the construction of the new Library as well as other needs on campus such as student scholarships and faculty endowment.
AMBS employees gathered to admire the sculpture that John (red shirt) created from several varieties of hardwoods. Don Steider made the frame for the book spines from the same cherry featured in the trim and panels of the library.
Mounting the scupture required collaboration by John, Don, Nate Koets (Assistant Director of Maintenance) and Ron Ringenberg (AMBS Administrative Vice President).
