Library programs

In April 1960 Helen Tracy reported the Friends' Harvard Classics gift and their National Library Week display work. The Friends organized author talks and library tours from the mid-1960s and showed free films from 1971 until April 25, 1973, when the board ended them amid declining attendance. The Friends mounted bicentennial history displays with borrowed materials and concluded them in September 1977. The County thanked the Friends in September 2007 for supporting the Get a Clue summer reading program. Teen Territory opened on September 8, 2011 with support from the Friends and the County Library Foundation.
