Library gallery features CCPL staff

May's exhibit in the Saul Alexander Gallery, Main Library, Charleston County Public Library, showcases the photography of John Van Dalen, a Reference Department Librarian here at Main.

Charleston resident John Van Dalen will exhibit black and white photographs titled "Images of the Rural South: 1973-1982" during the month of May in the Saul Alexander Gallery at the Charleston County Main Library, 68 Calhoun St. The photographs document vanishing examples of old barns, houses and main street architecture of small towns in the Midlands and Piedmont areas of South Carolina.

Lest you think that John received any special consideration, you should know that showing in the gallery is a juried process and the committee did not know that John was a staff member.

His photos are wonderful, so stop in if you're here for a meeting or go ahead and make the trip downtown to see this show.
