Project Overview

The Street Corner Letter Press will bring their unique project to Washington County Library Valley Branch for their Grand Opening! This 100-year-old letterpress can produce 4x6 postcard-style prints with the push of a lever. It can be operated by people of any age or ability. You will be invited to print your own postcards with customized images. Whether prints are framed, put on the fridge, or mailed to a friend, they are art worth saving!
