        DESCRIPTION

        This book contains over 300 messages and drawings from the citizens of Mountain View, California.

        Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, Mountain View city officials put a blank album in the rotunda area of City Hall. They also collected written thoughts and drawings from local residents regarding the events of the day and bound them into the album. According to Linda Forsberg, Deputy City Manager, the book was "to provide an opportunity for folks in the community to express how they were reacting to the events, and we also hoped it would provide an opportunity for the community to come together and engender some discussion about September 11."
