I recently came across a historical document that outlined a personal account from a patron that routinely utilized the library. He and his family were lifelong frequenters of the library, and his personal account of their 3 generations spending time within the walls of our library was touching. It reminded me that there is so much history surrounding this building aside from its historical significance as a Carnegie library. I spent what precious time I was afforded within these same walls, escaping to other worlds and finding solace in the quiet peace I could find here. Those memories were always held dearly until I began working for the library in my adult years, and now I get to make new memories here.
What sort of memories do you have of our library? Are there members of your family that can regale you with tales that included trips to the library? We would love to hear all about it. You can share here or online via out Facebook page!
