Learn about the history of libraries in Rockville.

Join Miriam Bunow, Education & Outreach Manager for Peerless Rockville, as she explores the history of the Rockville Library. As the Montgomery County Library system celebrates 75 years, the Rockville community organized and operated a library for decades before officially joining the County system. Come out to learn about the Rockville Library from the early 20th century to present and all the changes in between. 

Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, MD, Inc.
