Loutit District Library will host this exhibit from June 27 through August 5, 2011. The panel exhibit explores Adams's personal library - a collection of 3,500 books willed by Adams to the people of Massachusetts and deposited in the Boston Public Library in 1894. This remarkable collection of books provides first-hand insight into how John Adams shaped American history and how he was shaped through his lifelong dedication to reading and books.

Through photo-reproductions of these annotated volumes, viewers will witness one of our founding fathers wrestling with intellectual and political ideas at every stage in his long life - as a boy, university student, Boston lawyer, revolutionary, diplomat, President and citizen of the early American republic.

The “John Adams Unbound” traveling exhibition was organized by the Boston Public Library and the American Library Association Public Programs Office and made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life.
