Take an exclusive tour of Jacqueline
Kennedy: The White House Years from the comfort of your own home. The
popular Field Museum exhibit is featured all during March on What's
New in Libraries? , seen weekly on cable stations in over 70 communities
throughout the north suburbs of Chicago.
The exhibit showcases how Jackie
Kennedy used her intelligence and fashion sense to reflect the ideals
of the Kennedy administration. You'll see the fawn coat and signature
pillbox hat worn at the 1961 inauguration, the red dress worn for the
televised tour of the White House, the beaded gown in which the former
first lady dazzled Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and the austere black
dress worn for her audience with Pope John XXIII.
Viewers will also see how teens
in Des Plaines have an opportunity to meet with working artists and
poets while learning how to express themselves through writing poetry.

System, and a past president of the American Library Association.
