'Jazz Age in Paris' exhibit
to visit Missoula in 2000
The Mansfield Library and the Missoula Public Library were se- lected to be among 28 libraries in the United States to host a national traveling exhibition titled "The Jazz Age in Paris: 1914-1940." The exhibition will be on loan at the Missoula County Library for a six-week period starting Feb. 10, 2000.

Sponsored by the American Library Association and the Smithsonian Institution, "The Jazz Age in Paris" is a portable panel exhibition that examines Europe's early jazz movement, its close relationship to the development of jazz in the United States and the American artists, writers and musicians who lived in Paris at the time. It explores post-World War I Europe, particularly the cabaret culture in Paris, and offers a perspective on the period's American culture - a complex mixture of racial repression, movements toward equality for women and post-war adjustments.

Harriett Ranney, Mansfield Library music librarian, said bringing the exhibition to Missoula has involved a major collaborative effort between the University and county libraries.

She said the exhibition will be displayed at the Missoula County Library to make it more accessible to the community. However, she said UM will host a number of Jazz-related performances, lectures and art exhibits while the exhibition is in town.
