Dover library to unveil latest Tapestries edition

A community reception for the unveiling of the latest edition of Tapestries of Tuscarawas County will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 9, in the community room of the Dover Public Library.

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

“The eighth edition of the publication is once again full of original work that pieces together a multitude of stories, poems, photographs 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 add pieces to the story of Tuscarawas County. We are excited to present this latest edition to the community, especially as this year we celebrate the 250th birthday of America.”

The book is being released in May to coincide with Ohio’s celebration theme for the month, Ohio Creates: Arts, Culture and Literature. For more information about Ohio’s celebration themes, visit america250-ohio.org/2026-celebration-themes/.

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 cash prizes. Copies of Tapestries will be available for purchase at the reception for $10 each.
