LeClaire Library will be host throughout the month of March to "The Traveling History of the Book Exhibit," which comes to us from the University of Iowa Center for the Book. Recreations of an Egyptian papyrus book, an Ethiopian parchment book, a medieval wooden board book, and a 16th century German accountant’s book round out the story of the book’s evolution through history. LeClaire Library will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th with a performance of lovely Irish tunes by the Grace Notes Flute Quartet. This exhibit is the result of a creative collaboration between the Iowa Center for the Book and the University of Iowa Center for the Book and is available during all our regular open hours. The project is funded by a major grant from the Iowa Center for the Book Foundation.
