Caldwell, NJ – Are you up for some light reading, Caldwell?

On June 8, the Caldwell Public Library will host The Tiny Book Show, a mobile exhibition of miniature books housed inside a 1965 Covered Wagon travel trailer and curated by The Creativity Caravan.

According to a library news release, the arts and education-centered organization will bring its collection of books on a summer-long tour that will include stops in Chicago, Madison, Salt Lake City, Portland, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.
