Merriam-Webster defines “Collection” as “something collected – especially: an accumulation of objects gathered for study, comparison, or exhibition or as a hobby.”
Another definition would be “the act or process of getting things from different places and bringing them together.”
“A collection of interesting or beautiful objects brought together in order to show or study them as a hobby” would be another definition.
A collection can be anything – stamps, rocks, seashells, hats, baseball memorabilia, Legos or antiques.
Do you have a collection that you would like to share with the library and our patrons? We would love to display your items for a month. We have two display cases in the foyer as you walk in the front doors, plus an additional display case by the front desk.
Please contact Jan Ridenour at 330-343-6123 at the library if you are interested and would like to book a month to show off your hobby! Kids’ collections are always welcome.
We have exhibited pottery, 3-D print items, decorated eggs, glass shoes, old photos, vintage purses and gloves, historic fire department items, folk art, cork screws – just to name a few. Let yours be the next!
