Lumberton Intermediate School’s new library received a fresh look with a designed mural courtesy of 5 Under Golf Center and new president, Lance LaRue, to go along with its new campus, new technology, new spaces and new opportunities for students and staff alike.

The result of Lumberton ISD’s passed bond, the new library on campus offers a technology and computer lab, new tables for robotics, learning spaces for lessons and testing, and more. Though the construction was completed early this summer, the new layout left a large, L-shaped blank wall in the library’s most visible reading area.

Lumberton ISD reportedly reached out to LaRue for ideas and graphic design and, after an initial sketch, LaRue designed a fully detailed mural ready for installation.

The design features an open book with pages and words flying throughout a Southeast Texas landscape, Lumberton Raider themes and branding, plus an array of hidden literature references, books and characters to search and find.

“I wanted to help make something that looked sharp and dynamic, but really had something special that the kids could get excited about for years to come,” LaRue said.

Local sign company, Image 360, produced and installed the mural artwork.

“This project came at a perfect time because we at 5 Under are on a mission to uniquely serve in ways that go beyond just golf,” LaRue added. “This is a contribution that 5 Under can really get behind because it involves kids, schools, communities, and something for the future – all things that our owner, Don Shaver, sincerely supports.”
