Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton creating American flag 'quilt'

 

SHELTON - America is like a quilt; many pieces, colors, and stories, all held together by a common thread. 

Plumb Memorial Library is creating an American flag “quilt” display in the downstairs lobby to celebrate the diverse stories that make up our community and our country.

Share your family’s story, culture, or heritage! You can include a drawing, photo, recipe, memory, or a story about an ancestor who overcame challenges or followed their dream to America.

Stop by the library to pick up a “fabric swatch,” or bring your story on a piece of paper (8” high x 6” wide), and we’ll add it to the quilt. Contributions can be anonymous if you prefer.

Come help us stitch together the many stories that make up the American experience!
