Yorba Linda Library Mural (Robin Paul Memorial Mural)
The mural that was in the community room of the old library has an interesting history. In August 1958, Robin Paul, a little Yorba Linda girl was killed in an automobile-bicycle accident. Her parents, Mr. & Mrs. William Paul, requested that memorial gifts be given to the new library. The public donations went towards a mural that was created for the new library building.

The artist, Allan Hall of Yorba Linda, was a graduate of the School of Fine Arts at USC, a commercial artist and winner of four national awards, a founder of the Orange County Art Association and a member of a National Art Fraternity. In 1959, Hall created a 20’ x 12’ mural depicting 200 years of history in Yorba Linda and the region. For more history about the Robin Paul Memorial Mural and its artist, visit allanbhall.org
YLPF joined the Save the Mural Coalition whose other members are Yorba Linda Arts Alliance, Yorba Linda Historical Society, Yorba Linda Public Library, Placentia-Yorba Linda Art Association, Caduceus Medical Group and Dean Hall. This group rescued the mural prior to the library's demolition and has stored it awaiting funding for its restoration. An exhibit describing the mural restoration efforts has been installed in the new Yorba Linda Art Gallery in the Packing House at Caduceus Medical Group, 18200 Yorba Linda Blvd, Suite 250, Yorba Linda, California.
