Welcome to my view of our wonderful libraries. I am working on a traveling exhibition titled "Dear Library". The exhibition explores the library as a unique place and the heart of the community. The first exhibition was hosted by Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Public Library during National Library Week in April 2009. The exhibition included patron submissions with the theme of Dear Library. The submissions were either letters addressed to the Library, bookmarks, or a photo. All exploring the theme of Dear Library and what the Library means to them. The library friends group sponsored a contest in all three categories and according to age group. The library received over 350 submissions. It is my hope that the photography exhibition continues to travel the country, bringing an awareness of the variety of libraries.
