The Caribou Public Library is now providing an opportunity for area children and adults to display their personal collections of items. According to Diane Dubois, library director, each of the collections brought in to be shared will be on display for approximately six weeks.

The collection is available to view at the library, kicking off what Dubois hopes will be an ongoing display of various personal collections, brought to the library by local residents. The display will be changed every six weeks.

Currently on display is a collection of Russian nesting dolls, provided by library staffer Liza Guerrette, a native of Russia. A hallmark of Russian collectible items, the nesting dolls are very popular today with children and adult collectors worldwide.

Those who would like to participate in the collections display are asked to contact the library at 493-4214.
