New Exibits in B/H

We have three new exhibits in the B/H Library. In the first floor lobby, one exhibit features early images of the Long Trail (and repurposes the large reproductions we displayed at the Vermont History Expo). Sharon Thayer selected some beautiful literary broadsides from the fine press broadsides collection to fill the cases in the lobby near the stairs. (My favorite is "Brockport Sunflowers.") She selected broadsides that celebrate or meditate on the natural world and our place in it to complement the Long Trail photos. For the Special Collections cases, Sharon selected posters that the Acorn Press produced for events and businesses in Chelsea, VT during the 1970s and 1980s.

Read more about the exhibits in the Events and Exhibits section of the Libraries' web page.
