It's America's 250th birthday this year! The PGRHS America250MI Committee recently worked with the Kent District Library, Plainfield Branch, to create patriotic displays.
Our sincere appreciation to the KDL- Plainfield staff for allowing us to install these displays in observance of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence: Regional Director Penni Zurgable, Jessica Weber, Assistant Branch Librarian, the Creative Sparks Group, and staff. They worked with committee members Marilyn McGraw, Sharon Wells, long time member of Friends of the Library, and committee chair, Mary Harris.
The display at the library Circulation Desk is at child's-eye height, but take a moment to enjoy it with your kids! There are also displays in the Magazine Room highlighting a selection of classic books for sale that speak to the history of our country.
A huge thanks to our America250MI committee members, Mary, Sharon and Marilyn, who are moving on to decorate the display cases in the Plainfield Charter Township lobby.
The library displays and those in the township lobby serve to honor our great national anniversary and hopefully stirs the passion for patriotism in the heart of every American.
