This is a great temporary use for what some of you think of as The Old Chapel Hill Museum, although it's still The Old Chapel Hill Library to me. It's an exhibit curated by UNC professor elin o'Hara slavick about the meaning of place. The show opens January 28 and runs through April 28th with special events on February 11th, March 18th, and April 4th.
