Join local author Tad Runge for a unique and engaging presentation on the world of oriental rugs, with a special focus on the Hamadan village rugs that inspired his book One Woman One Weft. Drawing on decades of experience as a collector and dealer, Tad will share the fascinating story behind these humble yet extraordinary weavings—and the women who created them. This program is co-sponsored by Merrill Memorial Library and the 2026 Camden Conference: Today’s Middle East: Power, Politics, & Players.  More on the Library website.
