Daniel Boone Regional Library has been awarded a grant and selected as one of the 50 US libraries to host Americans and the Holocaust, a traveling exhibition from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. The exhibit examines the motives, pressures, and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war, and genocide in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s.
The exhibit will be on display in the Quiet Reading Room of the Columbia Public Library February 9 – March 16, 2026.
CBS has partnered with the library on this important exhibit. We are looking for knowledgeable volunteers from our community to serve in two possible roles: (1) a support role to the docents from the library, and (2) lead docents.
