Show Us Your SmileFrom Aug. 24 to Nov. 28, come into any FCPL Branch and show us your smiling face. As part of "Books, Buttons and Bright Smiles," we'll take your picture and mail you a button within 7 to 10 working days. You can wear your button in the Library or anywhere else you go. It's our way of making the community look a little friendlier. Anyone can participate. Just come into your favorite Branch during regularly operating hours, fill out a registration form and smile for the camera. Random buttons will also have a sticker inviting people to return to the Library to receive a free book. These books have been donated and are suited to a range of ages. Then post a picture of yourself on social media wearing your button, using #SMILEWITHFCPL.

"American" Smithsonian: National Museum of the American Indians American Indian images, names, and stories infuse American history and contemporary life. Pervasive, powerful, at times demeaning, the images, names, and stories reveal the deep connection between Americans and American Indians as well as how Indians have been embedded in unexpected ways in the history, pop culture, and identity of the United States.
