Both posters <br /> would be mounted and would be made available free of charge to booksellers in the <br /> area or interested institutions. We plan to do 10 of each poster. <br /> PROJECT GOALS <br /> Quite simply, we hope to get the book and its excellent information and <br /> documentary art in the hands of as many local residents as possible. We will use our <br /> OCAC Grassroots grant to do that by pursuing the marketing program outlined <br /> above. <br /> OUR AUDIENCE & LOCATION INFORMATION <br /> Hidden Hillsborough will appeal to town and county residents of all ages and <br /> ethnicities. From pedestrians to preservationists, from students to seniors, the book <br /> will offer a glimpse of our shared contemporary community and shared past. <br /> Beyond our border, the book should have appeal to people interested in historical <br /> towns, Southern towns, and preservation. We anticipate interest from throughout <br /> North Carolina and the Southeast. <br /> We hope to attract people with a keen interest in the historic references in our <br /> contemporary world by publicizing and encouraging attendance at a series of events at <br /> the public libraries throughout the county, bookstores, as well as a Friends of the <br /> Library event at the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Museum of <br /> History. <br /> The launch for the book will be held at the Burwell School in Hillsborough in <br /> October, with more than 100 people expected to attend. We are making a concerted <br /> effort to appeal to a diverse community for the book events, contacting historic <br /> African-American church congregations and institutions. <br /> Complimentary copies of the book will be sent to key officials in the community. <br /> ARTISTS & WRITERS <br /> Hidden Hillsborough is an excellent example of a collaborative effort at its best.
