Please come visit Carpenter-Carse Library this week for one of our great adult programs. We have a little something for everyone!
A Look at Vintage Postcards
Tuesday, December 5th 2:15-3:00
Holding and reading an old postcard can evoke memories of the past and provide glimpses into our history and culture. During the “Golden Age” of post cards (1898-1918), millions of cards were sent because they were a cheap, fast, colorful way of communicating. Come join us in learning about the “postal” craze and looking at some holiday cards sent to friends in Vermont over 100 years ago. We will also discuss some vintage postcard scenes of Hinesburg, Vermont and surrounding towns, along with their long past messages. Please feel free to bring along any old postcards you might have of Hinesburg to share.
After the presentation, stay for a bit and make your own holiday card! All materials will be provided and refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public.
