"Picturing America" Collection![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The “Picturing America” Bookshelf includes the following titles, which were selected by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), in cooperation with the American Library Association (ALA) and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of ALA. This collection will be on display for June, July and August at the library. Adults and teens can earn a free extra entry into our Adult and Teen Summer Reading Raffle, just by checking out one of these fine titles. Free bookmarks will be available. We will also be hosting a special storytime for ages 3-8, a kids movie night and 2 movie nights for adults. Click on the link above for program details. The We the People “Picturing America” Bookshelf is the literary complement of NEH’s Picturing AmericaSM visual arts project. Instead of paint, marble, silver, or glass, words are the media used to portray significant themes in American history and culture. Readers are invited to steer their way across the continent by river with Lewis and Clark in 1802, travel the railroad with Robert Louis Stevenson in 1879, or drive along the open highways with John Steinbeck and his dog Charley in 1960. Through the life and poetry of Walt Whitman emerge powerful images of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln; through the life and lens of Dorothea Lange we witness the impersonal forces and human faces of the Depression.
