In partnership with Arts & Education at the Hoyt, this reception will cap off the photography display installed at the library entitled "Animals Up Close." Created by 14-year old Emmy Wilson based on her family's farm in Tionesta, this display takes viewers on a photographic journey of her family's farm, Wilson Land & Cattle Co.

The art will be available for viewing in the library's Copernicus Room from September 9 - November 20. The reception in October will feature the opportunity to hear about Emmy's experience on a local farm and her photography experience, as well as enjoy refreshments provided by the Hoyt.
