When Scarborough Library (formerly the town's Mechanics' Institute) was
extended during 1935-36, four murals were painted in the new Junior
Library by the Scarborough-born artist Kenneth Rowntree (1915-1997)
showing scenes from children's literature. Three of these were painted
over in the early 21st century. The fourth, showing a scene from Alice
in Wonderland, remained on view until a refurbishment in 2004, but was
subsequently boarded over and cannot currently be seen.
