New Library Exhibit on Display

“The Art of the Printed Book Through the Centuries,” a traveling exhibit sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Missouri Center for the Book and the St. Louis Mercantile Library, will be on display through Jan. 12 at Pickler Memorial Library.
 
This collection of artifacts presents the history of the printed book through the last five centuries. It documents the origins of fine printing, how it developed to a very high level in England in the 19th century and America in the 20th century and how it has now become a worldwide art form.
 
Guided tours of the exhibit are available upon request. For more information, contact Amanda Langendoerfer at 660.785.7546.
