A Curated Series

Our Letters Home cultural program will explore the many ways we imagine, remember, and return to home from afar. Whether home is a place, a person, a language, a community, or even a moment in time, it is rarely fixed; it is something we carry with us, rediscover, and continually redefine. This series of events explore the changing meaning of home, the imaginative return to places left behind, the forces of nostalgia and exile, literary letters and correspondence, the epistolary voice, and the enduring human impulse to reach across distance through words.

Write It, Sort It, Send It.

As part of Letters Home, the Library will host a rotating series of hands-on activities centered on the art and craft of letter writing, from letter-writing stations stocked with vintage stationery to mail-sorting play for kids who want to try their hand as mail carriers.

Check back for updates on what’s coming, and stop by to write, fold, sort, or send something of your own.
