Join us for the unveiling of the library's 100-year pop-up history exhibit, get reading recommendations from Stillwater's first librarians (thanks to a librarian "fortune teller"), guess what old library "tools of the trade" were used for, make paper dolls of some notable librarians from our past, and, since the library opened in 1923 - take some fun photo ops with 1920s props.
