Picturing America on Exhibit at the Austin Public Library

Picturing America, an exhibit at the Austin Public Library through May 2009, tells the story of our nation through art.  By bringing high quality reproductions of our country’s finest works of art to Spicewood Springs Branch located in north Austin, and at the downtown John Henry Faulk Central Library, the Austin Public Library offers unique insights into the character, ideals, and aspirations that have shaped America.  Picturing America is the product of the National Endowment for the Humanities and comes to the Austin Public Library with a comprehensive teacher resource book providing a wide range of ideas and background information to support librarians, homeschoolers, and educators in using this exhibit. Lesson plans are available through the Picturing America Website, PicturingAmerica.neh.gov. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information please call 512-974-7400 or visit www.cityofaustin.org/library.
