Exhibits

Alongside many of the exhibits on display at Wolbach Library, we have also created complemntary digital exhibits to share with those who cannot visit the Library in person. This also serves as a lasting record of the featured works and collections. Digital exhibits associated with current and past exhibits haven taken the form of blog posts and Story Maps and are listed below.
