'Chronicles of Plainfield, 1870 - 1970' features previously unexhibited images of the four most important photographers in the Library's collection: Guillermo Thorn, Reina Lawrence, Paul R. Collier and Irving Georges.

The exhibit, curated by Sonja Sekely, opens today with a reception from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.

Mr. Georges will be on hand to greet visitors and discuss his photographs, which cover the most recent period in the exhibit.
