Mercantile Library in St Louis a Historic Hidden Gem

The Mercantile Library, founded in 1866 by seven St Louis merchants, remains a quiet cultural anchor with 2000 members. Notable patrons included Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and Civil War general Sherman. It houses 60000 to 65000 Western Americana volumes and rare works, with public access and rotating exhibits.

Sky harp by Rob Fisher headed for Osaka Hilton

Bellefonte based sculptor Rob Fisher will debut a three story sky harp at Osaka International Hilton in September. The 1600 pound, 16 panel sculpture uses 24 cables and 144 small aluminum squares created by computer. Fisher collaborated with Ray Masters for the program that models the installation and building, allowing virtual viewing before assembly in August by Japanese workers. Fisher defends computer use, noting it speeds exploration of designs while preserving studio craftsmanship.
