Continuing Programs

Picturing America

When you visit the library, be sure to take note of the posters of this nation's most significant images that are part of Picturing America, an initiative of the We the People program of the National Endowment of the Arts.  We the People seeks to strengthen the teaching , study and understanding of America's history and founding principles.  The posters are on the main and basement floors.  A short excerpt explaning the image hangs nearby.  The posters will be changed frequently reflecting the passage of time depicted by the art.
