1/7/13 - A ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off the grand opening of a Smithsonian Institution exhibit at the Hartland Cromaine Library on Friday. The exhibit is titled âThe Way We Worked,â and Library Marketing Manager Carol Taggart says it showcases pictures and other graphic illustrations of how America worked in the past, the reasons we worked and where we worked. Taggart adds that by examining the historical perspective, we as a society can hopefully make forward strides into the future. The exhibit features large-format photographs, historical objects, and interactive components. It is touring the state, but is only being taken to rural communities with less than 20,000 residents. Hartland was selected as one of the stops due to its strong programming components linking local work history to the national exhibit. The exhibit is free to the public and will be on display at the library through the first week in February, although library staff ask that large groups call ahead so staff members can accompany them. After that it will move on to Escanaba, Clare, and Hart. (JK)
