On April 20, 2024, Pasadena celebrated an innovative artist at the ribbon cutting of “Calm a Little Soul” by artist Karen Reitzel, moderated by the Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division. The artwork "Calm a Little Soul" was first exhibited in 2018 as part of the third iteration of the City's Rotating Public Art Program. Following her untimely passing in 2021, the artist's husband has generously donated the sculpture to the Hastings Branch Library, where it will pay homage to the nearby butterfly garden and inspire visitors for years to come.
