Reception for unveiling of Tapestries to be held

A community reception for the unveiling of the latest edition of Tapestries of Tuscarawas County will be held in the community room of the Dover Public Library Saturday, March 8 at 2 p.m.

Tapestries of Tuscarawas County is a literary and oral history journal published annually that features work by individuals with connections to Tuscarawas County.

“The seventh edition of the publication is once again full of original work that pieces together a multitude of stories, poems and works of art that create a picture of Tuscarawas County,” said Kim Jurkovic, local history librarian. “Every year we put this together, we realize more and more the amount of local talent in our area. The stories, poems, artwork and photographs that are submitted each year add more and more pieces to the story of Tuscarawas County. As always we are excited to present this latest edition to the community.”

Contributing authors will have the opportunity to read portions of their work at the event. The top submissions in art/photography and written expression will be awarded a cash prize made possible by the Friends of the Library. Copies of Tapestries will be available for purchase at the reception for $5 each.
