View Points features the work of thirty-two artists and celebrates the diverse points of view reflected in their work. The exhibition will be available for viewing from Wednesday, August 1st to Saturday, September 1st.
This highly anticipated event is an August tradition at the library. It includes abstract and representational paintings, works on paper, photographs, accordion books, sketchbooks and objects.

The show will be open for viewing Monday through Saturday in August during library hours, with viewing of those works in the Howard Room subject to the meeting room schedule, though always available 12:30-2pm.
