Visitors can mark the 125th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz” and explore the book’s legacy on stage and screen while viewing a special display at the Library of Congress during Live! At the Library in January. “The Music of Oz” includes reproductions of music and lyric manuscripts, costume designs and photographs from films and musicals inspired by the book, including the 1939 film, “The Wiz” and “Wicked.” The Library also is featuring a special display marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps.
During Live! At the Library, visitors are also invited to listen to a poetry reading and conversation with Oludamini Ogunnaike, a Nigerian-American poet and scholar.
