"Designs of Duty," an exhibit featuring East Central Illinois veterans and their service-related tattoos, was on display at Booth Library from Jan. 22 through May 11, 2018. It then began traveling to libraries throughout the East Central Illinois region for temporary display. "Designs of Duty" tells the stories of seven military veterans who served our country over a 45-year period throughout Asia and Europe. Veterans featured in the exhibit are Eric Hiltner and Wilson Reynolds of Charleston, Ken Fernandes of Newman, Random Clavin of Nokomis, Adam Griffy of Olney, Shane Wright of Shelbyville, and Lyle Gordon of Towanda.
