True love at the Free Library
One of the librarians at the Free Library of Philadelphia writes:
In case you weren’t up at 5:57 am on Valentine’s Day, watching channel 6 news (in Philadelphia), here’s a link to a short feature they did on the current Antique Valentines exhibition at Central in the cases outside the Print & Picture Collection. Their original plan was to do a piece on the history of Valentines, but when they found out that we were having an exhibition, they modified their focus. Hang in to the end, the anchor’s comment about maybe you’ll find love in the library is priceless. The exhibition was curated by Christiane Wisehart, one of our volunteers, who has been working on the collection since the summer, cleaning and re-housing the valentines. Many thanks to her!
