September 11, 2001: The Day That Changed the World poster exhibit at Gardner-Harvey Library

The Gardner-Harvey Library staff is excited to announce our participation in "September 11, 2001: The Day That Changed the World", a downloadable educational exhibition that presents the history of 9/11, its origins, and its ongoing implications through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. Told across 14 posters, this exhibition includes archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s permanent collection. It explores the consequences of terrorism on individual lives and communities at the local, national, and international levels, and encourages critical thinking about the legacies of 9/11.

The posters and some 9/11 related books from the library collection are on display on the main floor of the library.  We also have a whiteboard in place for participants to share how they will remember 9/11.  They are available for viewing at any time the library is open.  The exhibition will last through the end of September.

The poster exhibition was developed by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy Demands Wisdom. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this exhibition do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
