SARATOGA SPRINGS – Award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Bruce Hiscock, who died at the age of 80 earlier this month, left an indelible mark on the Saratoga community, perhaps most noticeably at the Saratoga Springs Public Library.
The walls of the children’s section feature whimsical murals of woodland creatures, including foxes and owls, all painted by Hiscock. Beyond the paintings, Hiscock also served on the library’s board of trustees and the board of directors for many years and was instrumental in the library’s move in the 1990s from Broadway to its current location on Henry Street.
