Wallingford Public Library Association
143rd Annual Meeting
Featuring Guest Speaker Zoe Hunter

Monday, Oct 23rd | 7pm
Community Room
No registration required

Join us for the 143rd annual meeting of the Wallingford Public Library Association! There will be a brief business meeting followed by a presentation by Zoe Hunter, managing director at the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale University.

During her presentation, Zoe will encourage participants to “journey well” and discuss the ways that embracing one’s journey contributes to personal development. Using memoirs as an analogy, she will highlight the role that storytelling plays in community building and networking, with the goal of inspiring people to be more confident in sharing their personal narratives.

Civil War Soldiers’ Quilts

Quilts made for use by soldiers during the Civil War are very rare—only seventeen are known (so far) to exist—and quilter Pam Weeks has studied most of them in person! She will outline the origins of the U.S. Sanitary Commission at the beginning of the War, the roles women played both on the home front and the battlefield, and share the stories of fourteen actual Civil War soldiers’ quilts.
