North Webster Community Public Library, in partnership with The Watershed Foundation, is proud to be selected by Indiana Humanities to host a traveling Smithsonian Institute exhibit as part of their Museum on Main Street initiative that brings quality exhibitions to rural communities.
The exhibit entitled, Water/Ways, is a salute to the role water plays in our lives and will be on display inside the library June 26 – August 7.
