This June, we celebrate the genius of Elbert Hubbard, founder of the Roycroft community – a center of the Arts and Crafts movement. The Romano Library has some Roycroft books. Each book is a work of art. We'll feature some of them in our next posts. #TreasuresOfTheRomanoLibrary
In his latest WhatTheyThink video, Frank Romano talks about The Youth’s Companion, a Boston-based newspaper that created the Pledge of Allegiance. Their building, at 209 Columbus Ave., is on the National Register of Historic Places.
