If you haven’t yet stopped by our Glenwood Springs Branch Library to visit the Circle of Light Photography Exhibit, be sure to see it for yourself! 📸

The Circle of Light Photo Project is a collection of photographs taken by people whose sight was restored through eye tissue transplants. The project educates the public about the impact eye tissue donation has on the lives of those in our communities. Eye tissue transplant recipients show the world the things they can now see by participating in this important project.

Visit https://corneas.org/COLPP for more information, or grab a flyer from the exhibit in-person.
