Langlois library posts art treasures
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 | No comments posted.
The Langlois Public Library has received a collection of 20 laminated, double-sided posters from the National Endowment for the Humanities, introducing library patrons to some of America’s art treasures. The posters are designed to promote the study and interest of American history and culture, a press release said.
The posters will be on display in the Langlois and Port Orford Public libraries during August and September. Accompanying each poster will be information regarding the historical time period and questions to provoke thought and conversation.
The Langlois library also won a Picturing America Bookshelf grant, and received 19 classic hardcover books for young readers, all related to the “Picturing America” theme.
The books express the ideals of courage and freedom, the meaning of being or becoming American, the right to pursue happiness and the belief in universal human equality.
