About this event
Librarian Caitlin brings her personal collection of original Victorian-era garments to the library and explains what we can learn from looking inside them. Seams, stitches, linings, tears, and stains all tell the story of the garment, its maker, and a bit about the person who wore it. Come get up close to the story! Please register online. This program is inspired by our 2026 summer reading program, Unearth a Story.
