Library Services celebrates Women’s History Month with a new exhibit, “Our History is Our Strength,” coinciding with the nationwide month-long celebration.

Our exhibit, located on the second floor of Francis Harvey Green Library across from the elevators, showcases beautiful art books purchased by WCU’s Institute for Women with the Pamela Hemphill endowed book fund. Complementing these books is artwork by WCU’s own women art faculty, Sally Van Orden, Nancy Rumfield, Kate Stewart, Margaret Hill, Virginia da Costa and Donna Usher. The exhibit will run until the end of April and can be viewed during normal library hours.

For more information about the exhibit please contact Tara Wink at 610-436-3456 or twink@wcupa.edu. Stop by and celebrate women and art with F.H. Green Library!
