Join us at HPL for an in-person program on February 14 at 5:30pm, where Heather Love will share about the history of love letters from ancient times into modern times. 

Additionally, you'll get the chance to put together a love letter!

Wish Upon a Star...

Did you know that there are stars painted on the ceiling of HPL's tower?

The idea of having the stars came from Charles Hackley's business partner's (Thomas Hume) sons!

The tall octagonal turret contrasts nicely with the horizontal scale of the asymmetrical building, giving it a unique aesthetic.  Additionally, Charles Hackley liked the idea of the tower, noting that it represented a beacon, lighting the pathway to knowledge. 

 

Stop by HPL for new titles and beautiful scenes!
