"Picturing America" at the Meriden Public Library
May 28, 2009
Meriden Public Library has received the "Picturing America" collection from the National Endowment for the Humanities, in partnership with the American Library Association. The purpose of this innovative program is to help teach American history through images of American art."Picturing America" consists of 40 high quality reproductions by Americans which portray people, places and events that have shaped our history. One of the reproductions in the collection is a picture of a "Diament Teapot", 1928, designed by Gene Theobald, and produced in Meriden by the Wilcox Silver Plate Company.
Half of the "Picturing America" collection will be on display in the hallway towards the Children's Library and in the Griffin Room. The collection will be changed in the fall to display the rest of the pictures. Contact the Community Services Department at (203) 630-6349 if you have questions about this or any other program at the Meriden Public Library.
