More than Books: Libraries, Community and Historic Preservation
This illustrated program examines almost two hundred years of American library history with a special focus on New England, including Vermont. Preservationist and photographer Bill Hosley notes, “At a time when few communities had art museums, historical societies, or other ways of preserving civic treasures, these libraries did it all…” This armchair examination of library history reminds us of the heritage and the states’ commitment of life-learning and broad social access to ideas.
