VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A rare copy of the Declaration of Independence will be available for public viewing in Virginia Beach.

The Meyera Oberndorf Central Library will host the document on Oct. 22.

It's one of 25 surviving copies of the declaration that Philadelphia printer John Dunlap produced on the night of July 4, 1776. Dunlap printed about 200 copies that were sent to the colonies and King George.

The copy to be displayed in Virginia Beach was bought by producer Norman Lear for $8.1 million in 2000.
