I am delighted to announce that the library has received a We the People Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This will bring a specialist from the Northeast Document Conservation Center to survey our historical collections. Our Closed collections include leather bound first editions, lantern slides, negatives, newspapers, yearbooks, a pencil box from the early 1900’s, and a bottle of Bud Soda. The conservator will assess what we own, how we store it and make recommendations on how to preserve it for future generations.
