THE 2020 PROJECT - A CRANSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY PHOTO ESSAY
Description
This project was created as a way to share people’s stories, and spread positivity and joy in a year filled with challenges and loss. We invited library patrons, and community members to visit the library to have their portrait taken by Library Communications Manager, Sarah Bouvier, and to answer the following question: “What is something positive that came out of 2020 for you personally?” Community members shared everything from new puppies, and spending time with family, to finding the courage to come out to family and friends.
