The Mark Twain Library is featured this year on the
pewter ornament created annually by the Redding
Neighbors & Newcomers club. The keepsake ornament
shows the library's entrance with its curved windows
and grand entrance and is a must-have for this holiday
season.
This is the club's 14th ornament honoring Redding.
Graphic designer Wendy Andersen creates the design and
then Woodbury Perter Company turns her artwork into an ornament.

events, familiar landmarks and renowned personalities.
Designs have included: Redding Established 1714
(1992); Two Deer (1993); The Town Gazebo (1994);
Congregational Church (1995); Israel Putnam (1996);
