31 Jul Judge Stone House Gallery: “Things We Found in Books” by Gal’s Guide Library
Have you ever lost a receipt, a note to yourself, or another piece of memorabilia? Chances are, you might have forgotten them in a book! The Gal’s Guide Library is exhibiting all the quirky bits and bobs folks have left behind in their donated books in their August exhibit, “Things We Found in Books”.
The Gal’s Guide Library is the first Women’s History lending library in the United States. The organization’s mission is to provide an independent women’s history library to preserve, collect, share, and champion women’s achievements and lessons learned. Gal’s Guide strives to act as a catalyst to creators who utilize their resources to guide others to role models who have been waiting in the shadows of history for too long.
Gal’s Guide was started in 2016 and opened a physical library space in March 2020. They currently run a number of monthly programs and yearly events, ranging from Walking Club to an annual Galentine’s Brunch. This exhibit is the third that they have held on the Noblesville Creates campus.
“Things We Found in Books” will be viewable from August 2-31 in the Judge Stone House gallery. Visitors can expect to explore plane tickets, handmade bookmarks, post-it notes, dedications, and more! The Noblesville Creates on 8th campus is open Wednesday through Friday, 12-5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
