The Hailey Public Library is hosting a powerful poster exhibit commemorating the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The exhibit, “September 11, 2001, The Day That Changed the World,” was developed by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City to mark the passage of two decades since the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93 killed about 3,000 people.
The exhibit documents the event’s impact and examines its significance. It will run through Sept. 30.
“So many Americans, and people from all over the world, lost their lives that day,” said exhibit curator and librarian Caitlyn Mills. “It’s important we don’t forget. It represented a loss of innocence and impacted millennials like me in profound ways.
“But, in a strange way, that shock and sadness helped bring people together, too. It truly was the day that changed the world.”
The library is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and from noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
