National Exhibit Comes to Library in Septmeber!

As part of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial celebration in 2009, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in collaboration with the American Library Association and the Tribeca Film Institute and with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities We the People program has produced ABRAHAM LINCOLN: SELF-MADE IN AMERICA learning station exhibit. This exhibit is intended to enable the delivery of valuable lessons and messages to host communities by examining the life and times of America's 16th president. It examines Lincoln's life from his beginnings in the crudest of circumstances to his ascension to the presidency and his assassination.   The exhibit is composed of seven learning stations and has been designed for public spaces, libraries, historical societies, and other cultural or educational institutions with a willingness and desire to showcase the exhibit as an integral part of their community outreach.  Two copies of the exhibition have circulated to over 40 institutions throughout the United States.   The learning station exhibit will be in our library September 7-20. It will be free and open to the public. Everyone is encouraged to see this exciting exhibit while it is on display in Marshall.
