Galion Public Library

Galion Public Library Enriching the lives of the citizens of the Galion area with a wide variety of materials and services. https://linktr.ee/galionlibrary

Galion Public Library was founded in 1901. Since that time our collection has grown to around 100,000 items. Initially the library was housed in a small log cabin, which is now located in Heise Park. The current library building (pictured at left) was built in 1904, partly with Carnegie funds, and later expanded in 1991 to create room for an ever-growing collection of materials and services. Besid

es a dedicated professional staff, the Galion Public Library is also blessed with an active Friends of the Library group. The friends hold seasonal bake sales and bazaars, as well as managing the library's running book sale. The funds raised by the Friends are used to better the services provided by the library. The library is governed by an independent board.

Our fourth and final entry into our Displays You Never Saw series is May’s Art Display. The featured art in May was a photo called Migrant Mother, shot by Dorothy Lange in 1936. 📸

This Great Depression piece seemed fitting to highlight during Labor History Month, but can we keep the conversation going even though Labor History Month has ended? 🤔

What does this photo remind you of? Did you know the Florence’s name before watching this video? What would it mean for Florence’s identity to have been lost to history? What does it mean that it wasn’t? Answer these questions, or ask your own, in the comments below! 🙂‍↕️
