Help us capture history in the making! As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, Longwood Public Library is creating a Visual Time Capsule of 2025–2026 — a collection of photos that showcase the people, places, events, and everyday moments that define our community.

Selected photos will be featured in a library gallery exhibition, preserved in a commemorative book added to our collection, and may appear in future digital and print displays celebrating Longwood’s story.

Please note: All submissions must be appropriate for a public, family-friendly environment. The library reserves the right to decline any photo that contains offensive, inappropriate, or unlawful content.

Share your perspective and become part of history!
