Library Invites Patrons to “Be a Part of History” by Participating in Art Exhibit

Library patrons will have an opportunity to be a part of history by participating in “Diary of a Library:  A Community Card Catalog of Pictures, Stories and Memories,” a 15-drawer card catalog exhibit being planned in conjunction with the Library’s 150^th Anniversary.

Community members are invited to visit the Library January 18 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or January 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when volunteers will be available to help with the creation of 3 by 5 inch card catalog cards.  These cards will become part of TCPL’s Sesquicentennial Art Exhibit “150 Years and Counting.” 

“Diary of a Library” is being curated by artist and former Library Trustee Barbara Page and will include drawers for each of the following topics:  Children at the Library -Life Stories – Library Stories – Artists’ Books – Friends of the Library – History of the Library – Library Volunteers – Art at the Library – Library of Yesterday, Today, the Future – Library Scavenger Hunt – Community Suggestion Box – Staff- Trustees- Foundation Board and Advisory Board.

 

From favorite books to favorite memories or photos of favorite spots in the Library, nothing is off limits as long as it captures the spirit of TCPL.
