## Resource

Celebrate America’s 250th with the Lawrence Public Library’s stunning new exhibit, “Expressions of Democracy in Gall Ink”—where local artists recreated the historic ink used to write the Declaration of Independence. Crafted from nature’s own galls, this iron gall ink is as enduring as the ideals it helped record. Through community workshops, residents learned to make the ink and pens, then channeled their reflections on democracy into powerful drawings now on display. Featuring expert collaboration, rare manuscripts, and a July 28 reception, this exhibit is a living tribute to history, nature, and civic engagement—don’t miss it before it ends this month.
