Happy Fourth, 2017!

                                                                                                                                                                             

The Fine Arts Room honors Independence Day by displaying books in our collection that feature Old Glory on their covers.  You'll also spot Lady Liberty peeking in, at the lower right.

The library's American flag is also prominently visible from the room.
