"Libraries mean learning and belonging." His painting, entitled Storytime, was kept under lock-and-key until it was officially re­ vealed March 22 to an appreciative OPL board. The OPL invites the community to visit the branch to see it. For more information regarding Oakville Public Library, please visit www.opl.ca. Aiden Lee, the 2017 YMCA Oakville Youth Peace Award winner and autism artist, has donated a custom painting to the Oakville Public Library in support of resources for children with developmental disabilities. The painting, which will be displayed in the library's Iroquois Ridge branch, was slat­ ed to be unveiled publicly today. The unveiling was timed to occur during Autism Awareness Week, as a way to pro­ mote and recognize the talents and accom­ plishments of individuals living with devel­ opmental disabilities. The 14-year-old artist was originally com­ missioned by the Oakville Public Library (OPL) to create the large four-by-six foot painting for the recently renovated branch, but he requested the funds be donated back to the library and invested in resources to assist autistic children attending library pro­ grams. It took three months for Lee to complete his painting, using a combination of paint, wood and book pages to create his portrayal of both the library and the community. "We are each an original painting, always adding new colours and designs with our choices and decisions," says Lee. "We need to see the beauty in other people, accept them for who they are, and believe in their art." Before Lee began working on his creation, he took time to get to know the space and the staff to ensure his artwork blended well with the library's atmosphere. He also instructed at an art night for OPL staff members to teach painting techniques while learning about them.
