Old Fashioned Letter Writing at the Jones Library

An Old Fashioned Letter Writing program will be held at Jones Library on February 11 from 5 to 6 pm.  Using the Special Collections exhibit Courtship by Mail as inspiration, teens will learn about the art of letter-writing and create some of their own mail to send.  As inspiration, an exhibit of vintage Valentines and old love letters will be on exhibit.     Participants will get to experience this exhibit in an exclusive after-hours session (Special Collections will be closed to the public but open to teens).  We’ll have lot of letter-writing supplies on hand, and even have tips for finding celebrity addresses. This program will be led by Special Collections Curator Cynthia Harbeson and Mia Cabana (Head of Youth Services).  Register by calling the Jones Library Kids’ Room at 413-259-3091or kids@joneslibrary.org
