The Book Fair by Roger Moore, from the Kirkland Town Library Art Collection, courtesy of Kirkland Town Library
Libraries are among the most resilient institutions in their communities. Their longevity is a direct result of librarians’ propensity to adapt and innovate. While Roger Moore’s painting depicts an outdoor book sale, one can envision curbside pickup and social-distanced services evolving into the fair atmosphere captured here. Absent the grim context, it would be easier to appreciate the spirit of resilience and innovation driving our response to COVID-19.
