Copyright issue: painted book covers on walls

[SUBY WALLACE <SUWALLAC@COLUMBIA.K12.MO.US>]

I have a question similar to one posted this morning.  A principal from a =
nearby town recommended an artist to our principal.  He painted book =
covers all over the walls of their library - Cat in the Hat, etc.  The art =
work is really good, but the earlier question made me wonder about =
copyright in this issue.  We were thinking of having him do book covers in =
our library too.  Is that acceptable?

Thanks for the advice.
