“Books are our best, our wisest, and most faithful companions. They instruct, they entertain, and they console us… They are the bridges that span the centuries.” These words were part of the speech given by Horace Platt at the dedication ceremony to begin construction of the library building. Built with a grant from the Carnegie Foundation, the library has been in continuous use since 1908.
Artists are invited to celebrate the beauty and magic of libraries, reading, and books with innovation and creativity.
