Dec. 7—An eclectic collection by eccentric character and former Boulder library employee Joel Haertling will be on display at the Boulder Public Library's Canyon Gallery & Theater starting this week.

Haertling and curator for the exhibition "To Have and To Hoard," Andrew Novick, will attend the exhibition's opening at 5 p.m. Thursday at the Canyon Gallery & Theater. The event will be followed with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., according to a news release from the city.

Haertling grew up in Boulder and worked for the Boulder Public Library for more than 30 years, the release said.

Novick is based out of Denver, and specializes in creating experiences, including a recent takeover of the Lakeside Amusement Park for a Denver film fundraiser. He has also created several experiential events and installations, including work at Meow Wolf Denver.
