Every Breath You Take: Tuberculosis Fresh-Air Treatments exhibition will occupy the Library lobby from April 1 to May 12, 2009.

The exhibit includes information, images, and artifacts on the pervasiveness of tuberculosis 1850-1950, the search for cures, establishment of sanitariums to treat patients, and fundraising for treatment and research, along with other topics. The special emphasis is on the various fresh-air treatments for TB patients (mountain air, sea air, desert air, even cave air).

Part of the exhibit is a collection of TB-related posters from the American Lung Association of Virginia. The posters are from Historical Collections and Services of the library and are being exhibited for the first time. Also in the exhibit is a 1925 incubator used to culture TB specimens at the Blue Ridge Sanitarium in Charlottesville.

Drawings will be held for a TB-related movie and for book sets of novels by authors with tuberculosis.

Anyone wishing to arrange a guided tour should contact Sonya Coleman, at 434.982.0576.
