"Shades of Monterey III" Exhibit at Alvarado Gallery - Through December 31, 2007

The Monterey Public Library is now exhibiting photos documenting day-to-day life in Monterey over the past century from the library's California History Room photo archives.  These photos are a sampling of those collected from the albums of local families as part of the library's effort to document and preserve community memory.
