Hundreds of individual leaves in a rainbow of hues flow into a colorful mural above the heads of visitors to the Los Nietos Public Library.

The leaves are an artistic homage to a beloved tree on library grounds and speak to the deep roots of the community.

ALTO™ powder-coated aluminum leaves stand out from the façade to cast dynamic shadows that change throughout the day.

The strong California sun will not fade the leaves, which will stay vibrant for years to come.
