The final week before Labor Day looks like a quiet one at the MHS. There are no scheduled programs this week, but there are a couple of noteworthy items.

Please note that the library will be closed Saturday, 3 September through Monday, 5 September in observance of the Labor Day holiday. 

Also, Thursday, 1 August is the last Thursday evening that the library will be open until 7:45 PM. Starting on 6 September the library’s “late night” moves to Tuesday evening. The library will be open 9:00 AM to 7:45 PM on Tuesdays, and will close at 4:45 PM on all other weekdays and at 4:00 PM on Saturdays.  This is a permanent change.   

Finally, there are only three weeks left to view the exhibition History Drawn with Light: Early Photographs from the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society.  The exhibition is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
