This thought-filled exhibit combining professional photography with personal stories is both striking and educational.
"When the (LUYV) volunteers contacted me last spring to install the Lift Up Your Voice photo display at the library, I hoped it might increase awareness of the homeless situation here in Ventura. I had no idea that hour after hour, day after day, month after month, people visiting the E.P. Foster Library would examine the photographs of local homeless individuals and read their stories with great interest. I expected to achieve a little community education with the display. What I didn't realize is that many of the homeless people who use our library would read these life stories and see them as inspiration for their own lives. The display offered hope to us all."
