“What does peace look like to you?”

Youth from across Connecticut have voiced their hopes for peace through their artwork, by answering this question. The Connecticut Pieces for Peace traveling exhibit is sponsored by the Curriculum of Hope for a Peaceful World, a CT-based group of women educators, members of DKG Society who have been promoting peace activities and curriculum worldwide for more than 30 years. The exhibit will be on display in the children’s section of the library through the month of April.

The opening reception will honor exhibit founder Jeanne Morascini (1929-2023) and Chaplin artist Brian Cohen (1965-2024), a Library Board of Trustees member who also worked for a more peaceful world through children’s art with his program Positive Expressions.

The library is located at 130 Chaplin Street, and is open Monday and Wednesday 10am-6pm, Friday 2-6pm, and Saturday 10am-1pm. For more information, please call 860-455-9424 or visit our website at www.chaplinpubliclibrary.org.
