About the Library
|
|
|
It was 1970 that the Kingston Community Library merged with the school library. Jacquelin E. Opperman was the first librarian. It was years later after her death (April 18th, 1980) that her successor Aneita Denhoff had the library renamed Jacquelin E. Opperman Memorial Library. A picture of her hangs in the library along with a biogiaphical sketch and a story about the mark she made on the community. During holiday's her ceramics that she made are showcased.

PICTURING AMERICA
|
|
|
Picturing America is an innovative program that helps teach American history and provides people with a gateway to the entire universe of the humanities. It begins with carefully selected masterpieces spanning several centuries. The featured artists range from early American Indian artisans to painters Mary Cassatt and Thomas Hart Benton, from photographers Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange to architects Frank Lloyd Wright and William Van Alen.
In partnership with the American Library Association, the NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) has distributed large, high-quality reproductions of these works, free of charge, to schools and libraries nationwide, along with materials and lesson plans for use by educators. These materials unlock the potential of the works or art, enhancing the study of American history, social studies, language arts, literature, and civic.
This collection can be view inside the library now through May 2009. Also, some teachers have the Picturing America posters hanging in their rooms. If you are unable to see the display at the library, you can view the reproductions by clicking on the this link http://picturingamerica.neh.gov/
