Photos From Recent or Vintage Trips to National Parks Wanted

In October, the Marblehead Conservancy and the Abbot Library will be presenting two special events on the theme, “Marblehead’s Best Idea: Local Echoes of the National Park Spirit.”

They will be mounting a month-long exhibit of photographs, highlighting the spirit of protecting open space for the enjoyment of all -- a spirit that is central to the mission of both the Marblehead Conservancy and of the National Parks Service.

On Tuesday, October 20th, the evening will begin with a public reception for the exhibit in the Library’s Gallery, with a talk immediately following, by Jonathan L. Parker, Chief of Interpretation, Education and Partnerships with the National Park Service.

To help make the exhibit and celebration work, the library and the Marblehead Conservancy need your National Park photographs to include in their exhibit.

Please email digital images to photos@marbleheadconservancy.org.

Printed photos of any size may be delivered or mailed to the Abbot Library: Attn: Patti Rogers, Director, Abbot Public Library, 235 Pleasant St. Marblehead, MA 01945.

The Abbot Public Library is located at 235 Pleasant Street in Marblehead. For additional information, call (781) 631-1481 or visit www.abbotlibrary.org.
