If you've been in the Young Adult room at Central Library recently, we hope you noticed the unusual set of posters hanging around the room.
They were given to us by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibit Service and offer a glimpse into the exhibit "Choosing to Participate" which is at the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. through June 17.

Think about it, how engaged are you? How do you choose to participate?
