Local scratchboard artist Esayas Zerazion found the ideal spot for his artistic expression, and it just so happened to be a study room at The Indianapolis Public Library's Central Library. From honing his craft to displaying his work at Central Library and later leading free scratchboard classes around the library community, the Library has become a home for Esayas's artistry.
