A sculpture created from cans, plastic bottles, broken toys and other recycled materials is now on display at the Mission Viejo Library.
Sculptor Richard J. Hinger donated a piece of artwork that spells out the word “Read” to the library, after a resident and fan of his work suggested it. The colorful and inventive sculpture is one in a series of works Hinger created for libraries.
The series is entitled “Lehighton Letters” and is made of discarded and recycled materials that usually end up in landfills. The found objects are then assembled and covered with brightly colored paints.
The “Read” sculpture is on display in the library’s Young Adult area for all patrons to enjoy. The Mission Viejo Library is located at 100 Civic Center.
